Don't Forget! Our annual 5th Grade picnic is THIS WEDNESDAY, June 10! Don't forget to bring in your item(s) to share at the picnic. Any parents who would like to meet us at Cherry Hill Park to help with the food, we'd be glad to have you! Just shoot me an email so we know to expect you.
This week in Science... we are giving our Ocean Animal presentations. We started last week and we are really learning a lot from each other. Check out Friday's Blog Entry to see pictures of our models.
Students should also be studying for the geology test on Friday. Topics include: Plate Tectonics and Continental Drift Theory, Layers of the Earth, Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Features of the Ocean Floor, Rocks and the Rock Cycle, and Sound! This is our last test in science, make it count! The test will be on Thursday, June 11.
This week in Social Studies... we are preparing for and presenting our plays about the American Revolution. We have a group acting out the Boston Massacre, one doing the Boston Tea Party, and one group acting out the Crossing of the Delaware during the war.
This week in Math... we are extending our geometry knowledge with some activities. Students are making their own designs using polygons and trying to measure and calculate the perimeter and area of each other's designs. Since we have had our final assessment on for our last unit, students will not be assigned any more homework in math class. Beginning now, students should continue (throughout the summer) to review their basic math facts (multiplication and division). Enjoy the warm weather and get out and play in the afternoons!
