Friday, February 13 will be our Valentine's Day celebration! We will be having Jump Rope for Heart from 11:15-12:15. Following Jump Rope, we will have our class Valentine exchange and then lunch. After lunch we will share a friendship trail mix and watch a movie.
If you would like your child to exchange Valentines, please see the class list below. We have 22 students.
If you would like to donate a small snack for the friendship trail mix, we would greatly appreciate it. As a reminder, we do have a tree nut allergy in the room and a dairy allergy- we would appreciate labels visible somewhere for these students to check!
Thank you so much!

Here's what to expect this week in 5th grade-
Science- We are finishing up our last lesson in our space unit on asteroids, meteors, comets, and moons while also working on our planet mini-research projects! Click on THIS LINK to see more about this project (this is also shared with students on their Google drive account and is glued in their science notebooks). They are working on this in class and will present sometime next week. We are also completing our PRISM investigation on force.
*Reminder- For those who are working on PRISM, projects are due NEXT Tue., Feb. 17th!
Science Night is Thurs. Feb. 19th- EVERYONE is welcome! Please see the below link to sign up your 5th grader to volunteer- we still have some empty time slots! Thank you to those that will be helping out!

Calling all 5th Graders! Concord needs YOU!Is your 5th grader looking for service hours? We need 5th grade volunteers to help out at Concord's Science Night on Feb. 19th from 5:45-6:45 and 6:45-7:45. Check out the sign-up genius below to sign up for a time slot.
Writing- We are finishing up our memoir unit this week and will be celebrating on Wednesday (memoirs are due on Wed. for the celebration). Writing portfolios will go home on Wed. and will be due back on Friday. Please celebrate the 2 memoirs your student has produced at home! I am so proud of their hard work! Next up, persuasive argument essays!
Math- We are busy working on multiplying and dividing fractions this week! Students are not just learning the steps, they are learning how to show visually with models in order to truly understand the algorithm. I couldn't be prouder of the math discussions we have each day! See the below video we watched in class to really understand fraction multiplication! Our test on chapter 10 will be next Friday, Feb. 20th.
Reading- We are continuing to discuss historical fiction in literature circles and during our read aloud on The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Ask your student how they feel about this book- our discussions each day continue to amaze me!
We are also discussing strategies that will help us with test-taking such as determining if a question is about the whole text or just a detail from the text, predicting answers before finding them, and being aware that test takers try to trick us by making all the answers SEEM correct! The BEST way to become better readers is by simply reading, thinking, and discussing- I love doing all these things with your 5th graders everyday!
Reminders-
Early Release is Wed!
Friday- Jump Rope for Heart & Valentine's Day
Mon. 2/16- No School
2/19- Science Night
2/24- Mother/Son Dance
