Hello 5th Grade Families,
Here is what's happening....
Field Trip: We will be going to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, with our art teacher, Mr. Moore, in the afternoon on Friday. Thank you to the parents who have volunteer to chaperone. I will be in contact with you about the specifics of the day.
Conferences: There are sign-up sheets in the main entrance to the building. Please let me know if you cannot make one of those three days and we can figure out something else.
Math: We are getting close to the end of Unit 5, and will be taking the test this week, most likely on Thursday. Students will be reviewing and practicing during class, but you should expect them to be completing review work at home before the test, in lieu of study links.
Social Studies: Student groups will begin presenting their PowerPoint presentations this week. They have been working hard and I am excited to see the final products.
Writing: We have taken the time to do a few grammar mini-lessons in preparation for a longer writing unit. Very soon, we will begin the writing process for our descriptive essay. This will be the largest piece of writing that your students will have done so far this year, and I am really looking forward to it. I have seen strong writing ability in this group, and this will be a great opportunity to showcase their talents. More to come on this....
That's enough for now. As always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Mr. Norman
