5V News

We have been enjoying our time with Jeff Warner and we are looking forward to spending the whole morning with him on Monday.  I'm sure you've heard your child singing some of his songs!  I am encouraging students to join us for a sing-a-long on Thursday, April 18th at 6:30 pm in the library.

We are finishing up our feature articles and exploring some Google templates to use to format our articles.  We will be posting them on the blog next week to share with a larger audience and we will also create a class magazine.  The students have been working hard on these articles and are looking forward to sharing them!

In Math, we have recently started working with negative numbers and we are spending time using several different strategies to add and subtract.  We have been using positive and negative counters to visualize and soon we will be "walking" the number line as a strategy.  Our unit 7 test will be sometime next week.

Notes and reminders:
  • Memory book pages are due today
  • Early release Wednesday, April 17th
  • Quarter three report cards will be sent home Friday, April 19th
Have a great weekend!
