5V News

Thank you:
Thank you to all parents who joined us yesterday in Boston!  We had a great day learning about the American Revolution and the students were excited to see the places we have been learning about!

Math:
Our last math test on unit 8 is today.  We will continue to study parts of unit 9 and then move on to Bridges- an integrated science and math unit.  In this project students will be placed in teams consisting of an architect, accountant and other jobs.  Their task will be to design and create a toothpick bridge to hold the maximum amount of weight.  Students love this project and parents will be invited in at the end of the year to "judge" these bridges.  From this point forward, there will be less math homework (study links) coming home as the Bridges project will be done mostly in class.

CMS form:
Today a blue form is being sent home from CMS.  This form asks you and your child to decide on chorus, band, string orchestra or general music for next year.  Please return this form here by June 7th.

Please join us on Wednesday, June 19th from 11:15 to 12:30.  Students will be performing our Constitution play and parents will have an opportunity to judge our bridges and view our altered books.
