Week of 5/5 Newsletter

Hello 4th & 5th Grade Families,

I hope this letter finds you all well and enjoying the Spring! I can't believe we have 6 weeks left of school! The Panoramic photo will be taken tomorrow, Tuesday, May 6 (thank you Nikki Brooks!). If you would like to order a copy for your child, please complete and return the form to the office. (Order form can be downloaded HERE).

Our Mountain School Annual Auction is this Saturday! Raffle tickets were sent home last week and there is some more information about it in the Monday Folders.

Open House is right around the corner too! Please make your calendars for Wednesday, May 21, 7PM. Our classrooms will be open and we hope to see you all there!

What we're learning about:
ELA/SS: We have begun reading a new class novel, Patty Reed's Doll. It is a story about the Donner Party. We will be following the families across the Midwest as part of the Westward Expansion of the 1800s. 

Math: 4th graders will be working on Area & Perimeter of squares & rectangles (this will be a good time to review multiplication & division facts!!)
5th graders will be working on measuring angles.

Science: 4th graders are wrapping up a unit on Landforms, with a test this Wednesday.
5th graders have begun practicing for the STAR Science Test (to be taken later in the month) and will also be learning about Living Systems.

You may have noticed that I am transitioning my email to rhonig@mountainesd.org, so if you haven't already changed it in your address book, please do so. However, for the rest of the year, I will be receiving emails at all of my addresses. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!

Best,

Ms. Honig
