Week 32

Reminders:
  • Freedom Train - On Tuesday, a permission slip will be sent home for our upcoming field trip to Miller Outdoor Theater. We will attend a performance about a mother and son’s journey to freedom on the underground railroad. Our trip is set for Thursday, 4/27, and we plan to sit on the hill and have lunch while we are there. Your child will need to pack a hat, small (beach) towel, and a disposable sack lunch. Since this event is quickly approaching, I appreciate your help in returning the signed forms and $6.00 (cash) fee as soon as possible. Also, please email me if you would be interested in joining us as a chaperone. Thanks for your support!
  • Father-Daughter Dance - Friday, 4/21 (6-8pm)
  • When I Grow Up Career Expo - Saturday, 4/22

Math: We will have our test on percentages on Wednesday, 4/19. On Thursday, we will cover area of triangles. Area of a Triangle is an introductory video on to calculate this, skip ahead to 4:53. POD quiz on Friday, 4/21.

Science: We will finish up force and motion this week and have a small quiz on Tuesday, 4/18. On Thursday, we will begin our cumulative review of all of 5th grade science TEKS in preparation for our upcoming STAAR test, which is May 10th. Students have excellent notes in their science journals and science textbooks are also a great resource to look back through.  I encourage students go to back to Study Jams to review as well.

Reading: We are continuing our book clubs this week. We will have spelling and quizlet this Friday, 4/21.

Social Studies: This week we are covering social, economic, and political issues that occurred in the beginning of the 20th century. This includes women's rights, the suffrage movement, and labor laws.
