The following is a BIG question we are exploring, discussing, and trying to answer
in 5th grade. Encourage your student to continue the discussion with YOU at
home!
How can we celebrate diversity and welcome everyone into our
community?
community?
Over the past month we have studied the stories of diverse cultures and had many
conversations about how to celebrate and how to welcome and include others not
only into our classroom, but into our country. This focus has been weaved into
almost every aspect of our day and will continue to be for the remainder of first
quarter.
If you have a chance to talk to your child about this question, having empathy,
spreading kindness, and how to make our community a better place, I hope you do.
Your kids have incredible ideas and they are showing us each and every day how
KIND they can to be to their peers regardless of ability, whether it be academic,
social, emotional, or physical.

This week in 5th grade…
ELA: It is time for students to celebrate their narratives at home with families!
Students are responsible for completing a self-evaluation checklist (we will be
working on this Monday), add it to their Google site writing portfolio, and share
their glows and grows with YOU (by THURSDAY)! Students will be setting goals as we
embark on our 2nd piece this week.
We will challenge ourselves to reflect on our lives and the world around us as we write
our very own MEMOIR! A memoir is a hybrid kind of writing, including elements of both
personal narrative and personal essay. We will be raising the level of our craft by adding
in more reflection, opinions, and thoughts. We will then be supporting our thoughts with
evidence in the form of personal stories!

STEAM: We are wrapping up our unit on division. We will be working on a performance
event to showcase their understanding on this topic tomorrow. I cannot wait for
students to showcase our final project, within our Food to Sun unit this Thursday!
The “4 C’s” (Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, Communication) are booming
within this project.
