5th Grade Update

Hello Families!

As we started our spring break with this surprise snow day, I was unable to send home some information with the kids.

Friday, May 19 will be our annual Grays to Blues (5th Grade promotion)!  This is a great celebration.  It takes place during All School (7:30am) and there will be a reception after.  More details will follow!

Over break, the homework is to conduct experiments and collect data OR build, test, and modify inventions.  All students should come to school after break with collected data and observations (technically it’s due Tuesday, 3/21, but it’s best if they’re done with it by the end of break).  Please feel free to contact me with questions over the break - I will be checking email at least once each day, so I can answer questions.  I also suggest that the kids start to type up parts for the final presentation (either a trifold board or a digital presentation - guidelines are at the end of the journal).

Also over break, please have your child work on iReady or Zearn lessons.  There is no written homework for math.  

Please check out the blog for practice games, videos, and other resources!
