5V News

Thank you to all of the fifth grade parents and families who helped make our basketball game a success!  We had so much fun and raised a ton of money for our fifth graders.  It was great to see kids there in every capacity- players, cheerleaders, musicians and spectators! 

We are learning about:

• The lost colony of Roanoke
• Adding and subtracting fractions
• Feature articles

Some activities we did this week:

• Found common denominators to add and subtract fractions
• Took our unit 6 math test
• Listened to Roanoke- the Lost Colony 
• Read about different theories of what happened to the colonists in Roanoke
• Wrote a newspaper article summarizing the events at Roanoke
• Proofread our classmates' feature articles 
• Put the finishing touches on our feature articles
• Reviewed plural and singular possessives 
• Experimented with some new apps on the ipads 
• Read with our second grade reading buddies 

Notes and reminders:

• Have a great vacation next week!
