We are ready to begin our second week of school and I want to let you all know what we will be studying first.

Math: We will start with measurement. Students will learn the difference between customary units and metric. We will learn how to use many different measuring tools correctly. Students will also learn how to convert one metric unit to another.

Science: We will be learning about measurement in science class also. We will learn how scientist measure, mass, capacity and volume and also learn all about different tools scientists need. We will start with Lesson 1 Chapter 1 in the text book.

Please plan to attend the Open House on Thursday 8/21 at 6:30 for valuable 5th grade information.

The students will be tested weekly so that all will pass the 4 operations with a 90% or better. Many of the students are a little rusty and need to practice with flash cards or take home practice tests. I will give practice tests to anyone who wants them!

We had a great first day of school. Please let me know through e-mail if you have any questions about anything.

Please return all forms that needed to be filled out from the Sneak-a-Peak folder and return them ASAP.

Behavior booklets went home today. Please review these with your child, sign the back and return to school tomorrow. Mrs. Brindley assigned writing homework and some students completed it in class.   

They should be ready for bed early tonight!
