5th grade families
Picture retakes will be Tuesday 10/01 in the Q2 Gym. Please let me know if your student will be doing that.
If your student is needing tutoring you will be receiving an email from me shortly.
Please make sure to send your student prepared for those cooler temperatures with a jacket/coat.
Also, Family-Teacher Conferences will be held in two weeks on Monday, October 14th, and Tuesday, October 15th. Both days will be early outs. Please sign up here for a time that will work best for you and your student to attend together.
This week in math we will be learning all about place value in preparation for operations with decimals. Students will learn that for both whole numbers and decimals, a digit in one place not only has ten times the value it would have in the place to its right, but also has one-tenth the value it would have in the place its left. This means we will be using the multiplication and division skills we have been learning the past few weeks to expand our knowledge of numbers.
In ELA, we are practicing rereading to compare text structures, with a special focus on problem and solution, while we consider the question “What do good problem solvers do?” Please help your child remember to read for 20 minutes every day at home!
In science, we are finishing our study of weathering and erosion and will get to do some hands-on experimenting with this topic. We hope it will be a lot of fun!
Thank you,
Ms. Kierejewski
