MATH - Mrs. Custer

We did a great deal of converting in both the metric and customary systems this week.  On Friday, we took our final math facts tests.  Please ask your fifth grader about their amazing progress with their facts this year!  I am so proud of everybody's hard work! 
Friday I sent home May Delta Math test scores for you to see how your fifth grader did on the 6 standards of fifth grade math.  Please celebrate their success on that test as well!

BLOWERS WRITING:    

  Students have completed their choice persuasive paper. We will begin poetry next. This short unit has a focus on grammar. 

READING: with Mrs. Blowers

  Books Clubs will wrap up this week. We will have a little time for some nonfiction reading after this. 

  Students took the SRI test on Tuesday and I was so proud kids and the growth they have made! I will send scores and comments about your child's reading growth to you by emailing an attachment or sending home a paper copy to each of you soon. I am waiting on some Dibels scores at this time.
