We are continuing to dive deeper into author's craft and purpose for writing, along with analyzing fiction. We've started a novel study on a classic this week, Shiloh. The kids were shocked when I told them that I read this book when I was in fourth grade! That's how great of a story it is 🙂 The students are loving discussing the characters, plot, conflict, and theme. Please take time to ask them what they've learned from the story. In Social Studies we are learning about the first settlers who came to America.
Reminders...
- Read, read, read every night.
- Practice spelling words. Tests are EVERY Thursday.
- Attendance is necessary for your child's academic success. If they will be absent, please message me on Dojo and call the office.
- PTO Movie night this Friday at the stadium!
- Please message me or Mrs. Brown if you need anything. We are here to help!
Thank you for all you do! Also a BIGTHANK YOU for those who came and met with us during conferences. We couldn't do this without you 🙂 I love being their teacher!

In Science, we are still exploring types of energy. On Tuesday, we are hoping to create "batteries" that will power a red LED light. Please ask your child to discuss different types of energy and how energy flows. Have them explain circuits.
In Math, we have been reviewing all operations. We have also discussed some financial literacy. Your children are getting a glimpse of how expensive life can be. We have been discussing expenses and profits.
In 5th grade Science, we are also learning about energy. We, too, will attempt to create a working battery to power an LED light. We will also be exploring light.
Thank you for sharing your children with me!
