September 23 - 27

Math 
The students took their test for Unit 1 in math.  They have seen their scores so be sure to ask about this. I will send the test home as soon as I have access to the report cards and can input their scores.  The Parent Letter for Unit 2 came home last week.  We are working on adding and subtracting decimals as well as making accurate and reasonable estimations.  The following link will take you to the report card.  You can look at the math page to see what your child should know by the end of each unit.


Reading 
The fifth grade students have started working with their reading teacher.  There is a general expectation that the students will all be reading for 30 minutes each night.  This could be an independent book from school or home.  Your child may also need to read in a guided reading book.  You can help your child out by asking questions about what they have read.  

Science 
We are continuing to review in science in preparation for the MEAP.  

Social Studies 
The students will soon be studying the 50 states and capitals.  They will get 5 new states at a time.  Look for this to come home soon.

Charleston Wrap Fundraiser 
The fundraiser came home last week.  Students have an opportunity to help raise money for the school as well as win prizes for themselves.  This is due back to school on October 7
