Here's what's happening this last week before Spring Break...

***Reminders--- 

• Spring musical is Tuesday- Meet in LHS auditorium lobby at 6:45, show begins at 7!
• Spring conferences are this Thursday
• Half day on Friday!

Science- We are continuing our new unit on body systems- structure and function.

Math- We will be converting metric units of length and mass. Ask your student about the metric song! 

Writing- We are beginning to apply all that we have learned about opinion writing to our DARE essay, arguing for kids to be drug free.

Reading- We are continuing to analyze, discuss, and answer higher level questions relating to complex passages and texts as we prepare for the MAP test. Students are also continuing to focus on their independent reading goals for this year- how many books has your 5th grader read so far in 5th grade??

Social Studies- We are starting to study the causes of WWI, with a focus on the United States becoming a world power.
