As a school wide initiative, the middle school has started to pilot a program that we are now going to start using in 5th grade. - Quarter 3 = As we are nearing the end of the quarter, we are continuing to have students check Aspen weekly and encourage them to be turning in missing work sooner than later. We are hoping to have a better quarter in regards to work completion. - Missing Work = We will be accepting late work through Wednesday, April 6th - Math Facts = Remember to practice your multiplication facts regularly up to 12! Here are some academic updates from this past week: - ELA (201) = We started our new writing project and picked our topics! - ELA (217) = We have been working on determining the main idea and supporting details! - SS = We have been learning about the different fighters in the American Revolution. - Math (201) = Next week we will be learning about area and perimeter of parallelograms. - Math (217) = Next week we will be finishing our unit on simlar figures by looking at how ratios can be used to solve these types of problems. - Science = We are finishing up our Element project and will be creating a 5th grade class display of all the elements. We hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Mrs. Kovar & Mrs. Parsons
