HANNIBAL UPDATE: The steamboat is broken! Since it is being repaired (we just found out yesterday), we are working on an alternate plan for the afternoon. We will keep you updated.
READING: Almost all readers have finished their Book Shares and are ready for Hannibal. We will certainly go over this trip and expectations on Monday - THIS TRIP LEAVES BEFORE SCHOOL AND ARRIVES AFTER SCHOOL - please prepare for that, especially if your child is a bus rider.
Our reading time for the rest of the year will be spent on a Health Science - Power - that focuses on making healthy choices. We will be reading in most subjects too as we finish end of the year projects.
WRITING: Our writing time is going to be focused on writing a Civil War letter, planning our CAT TV documentary, and revising our Infographics.
MATH: For our final math project this year, we are answering a question that came out of our construction work this year. HOW MANY BRICKS ARE ON GRANT SCHOOL?!!??!! This problem will guide our daily math work. Kids who finish tasks on this project early will also have an opportunity to plan their own dream house!
SS: We finish really nice Westward Expansion google slides this week. We will now focus on the last unit in 5th grade social studies - Civil War. This learning will culminate with our all day Civil War day field trip on May 15.
SCIENCE: We will continue exploring the hydrological system with experiments and activities.
