Hello Everyone-
The weather is changing, our time will be changing this weekend and we are now moving into learning about the 13 Colonies of the United States. There are many fun activities we will do as a class, starting with our "Colonial School". This gives the students a taste of what is was like to go to school in Colonial Times. We will conclude our unit on American Colonies with our "Colonial Days" on Tuesday November 22nd. We look forward to these activities, it is a terrific way to end our colonial unit.
We are having our Math Benchmark 1 Test this week. This is a test on all of the things we have learned about so far in 5th grade. We are finding that the concepts in 5th grade are not too difficult for the students, however we are finding some of them are struggling with their times tables. Please encourage your student to practice their times tables each night, even if only for 5 minutes. You can even do this as you are driving around.
We look forward to seeing each of you at our Parent Teacher Conferences on November 9th and 10th. If you have any questions or concerns we look forward to hearing from you then.
Thanks~
