Upcoming Events:
- 3/8 Mid-Module Math Assessment--The assessment will cover finding volume of rectangular prisms. Students can use this week's homework as a study guide. They can expect to see similar problems on the assessment.
- 3/8 Hawk Hollow Walking Field Trip: The class will spend the afternoon at Hawk Hollow exploring constructive and destructive forces at work in our own neighborhood.
- 3/8 Walk and Roll to School
- 3/13-3/15 Tybee Trip: Students will need to arrive at school @ 5:45 am on Monday. The buses plan to pull out at 6:00 am
- 3/23 Student-Led Conferences 4:00-6:00--There will be a sign-up coming out about these conferences in the next week
Instructional Updates:
Students have been hard at work inquiring into constructive and destructive forces at work on Earth's surface and interactions that impact humans and the environment. Last week we used stream tables to simulate weathering, erosion and deposition. Ask your fifth grader to tell you the difference in each stage of the process.
In math we continued exploring volume of rectangular prisms. Students discovered that 1 cubic centimeter is the same as 1 mL. They have been using this knowledge to help with challenging problem solving. They will have a mid-module assessment this week (Wednesday) on volume concepts. The math homework will also serve as a study guide for them.
Tybee is quickly approaching for our group. See this week's weekly email for more detailed information. I am attaching a link to the "What to Bring Checklist" below.
