5th graders were excited to be able to go visit the middle school on Thursday. We will have more information for you about 6th grade later in the year. An FYI as I have had some questions about this Parents will get a notification about a 6th grade orientation for parents and students that will occur sometime in August.
Math:
Measurement is our current unit. We have been working with converting customary and metric units of length, perimeter and area.Students used technology, hands on activities and worked through problems on paper.

We continue reading, discussing and writing responses to content from The Fighting Ground. We have been talking about characters and motives, historical fiction elements, vocabulary in context, and other reading comprehension strategies.
March Book Activity: Biographies - Students chose a person from history to read about this month. They may read at home and school. The class is supposed to fill out information about their person on the pages they were given. March 26th this is due. Each student will then complete a Facebook page template about their person from history! They will put these on their web pages.
Writing:
Students continue working on their point of view/voice pieces based on the story "Dear Mrs. LaRue". Students will perform their mock talk shows, news reports, etc. next week for the class. They will videotape these and add to them to their web pages in Infotech.

This week's skill was adding suffixes to base words. Next week's skill will be homographs.
Next week's word study list is below. Your child should study the word list if needed.
