Weekly Update 2/6/17

Happy Monday! I hope everyone is recovering well from the high emotions of the Super Bowl.

This week is the last week of the term and we've got lots to do.

Upcoming Events:


** Book Fair is going on all week, but our assigned shopping day is Wednesday. Students can bring money to school and/or you can visit the book fair with your child at our Night of Expressions.


  • 2/8           Science Summative Assessment (Students got study guide last Thursday)
  • 2/9           Social Studies and Math Summative Assessments (Students will get study guides today)
  • 2/9           Night of Expressions---Our class' presentation time is 7:00, but I would suggest arriving a few min. early to ensure you find parking. If you can walk or carpool, that may be a good option.
  • 2/13-2/17 Winter Break
  • 2/21        Tybee Chaperone Meeting (5:30 pm)
  • 2/24        Fifth Grade Village Gathering (8:00 am)
  • 3/13-3/15 Tybee Trip

Instructional Updates:


Students explored ways in which the government was creative with new ideas for programs that were part of FDR's New Deal. They also expressed themselves with reader's theater plays about World War 1, The Great Depression and The Dust Bowl.



In science students continued to explore chemical and physical changes in matter. They will be using their creativity this week to design their own investigations. Your fifth grader may come home tonight asking for milk, butter, soda or other substances that they will use to carry out their independent investigations!



Congrats to our Spelling Bee representatives. Maren, from our class will be going to the district competition this week!
