Do you have a lemon tree?

If so, we are in need of lemons for the LEMONADE STATION for Colonial Day.

Please send them in by Tuesday.

Thanks!

We could also use a few electric frying pans if you have one.

Thank you to everyone for making this such a special day for the kids!

I know they will remember it for a lifetime!

This week we reviewed Fact and Opinion and Main Idea and Details!

We  will continue to work next week on understanding even more about many of the 5th Grade comprehension strategies we have learned throughout the year!

We rocked addition and subtraction of INTEGERS last week, and are are grasping SOLVING AND WRITING EQUATIONS! Their perseverance and positive attitudes are helping them master these concepts! 

I even overheard, "I love hard Algebra!" 

We will move on to PERCENTS next week!

This week in Science, we conducted experiments to study saturation and learned that we can use the property of SOLUBILITY to identify a specific solid!

We will be moving on, next week, to learning about Chemical Reactions!

You should have received an email about the upcoming SCIENCE FAIR!

If you didn't receive it, let me know and I will re-send it to you.

Your QUESTION is due Wednesday, March 20th

CST Testing is coming up, beginning around April 9th! Your child will be tested on standards they have learned throughout their 5th grade year. Please join me in keeping this a positive experience! Preparation is important, but putting too much pressure to perform well, may add unnecessary stress. 

Here is a cute video developed by some 5th grade students.
