For the week of September 14th - 17th

We have a lot of exciting things going on in 5th grade this week.  We will be starting our unit on Engineering/Technology with the focus being on how to protect our planet.  Our first spelling test is this week.  In addition, 5th grade has started the art unit on blending with watercolors.  You may have also heard about our hamburger project.  It is rather interesting that certain hamburgers are molding, like they should, while others look and smell the same as day one.  Last but not least, we have been reading "Radio 5th Grade" and doing some research on radio jargon.  As a culminating event to the book, Kate McGwire from Mix 106 has agreed to be a guest speaker in the class!

Here are some important dates for your calendar:

  1. Thursday, September 17th - Spelling Test
  2. Friday, September 18th - No School
  3. Reading Calendars are due at the end of the month.  Keep those kids reading :)
