Week of June 2 Newsletter

Dear 4th & 5th Grade Families,

Wow! I cannot believe that this is our last FULL week of school! I am looking forward to keeping to our normal classroom schedule as much as possible, with the exception of science on Mondays. 

What we're learning about:
Writing:
Students will be finishing up their State Reports this week and we plan to begin presenting them on Friday afternoon! Students will also be completing a writing assessment demonstrating their ability to  write opinion essays, about a novel they've read.

ELA/Social Science:
We are finishing up reading Patty Reed's Doll. We will continue to learn about America's early history - the Civil War and into the early 1900s.

Math:
4th Graders will continue learning about Functions and Graphing on coordinate grids. There is a great video on Khan Academy - check it out if you have a chance!
5th Graders will be wrapping up a unit on geometry.

Upcoming Events:
Friday, June 6: Student Council Pizza Lunch at 12:05

Tuesday, June 10: Mountain School Talent Show begins at 10:15AM
