   5th Grade Overview

 October 13-16, 2026

Monday, October 12: NO SCHOOL due to Fall Break. Classes resume Tuesday, October 13.

Practice Good Hygiene: Remember to teach your child about deodorant this year…the sooner the better!

Western Day: This hands-on all-day learning experience will take place on Friday, October 30, at Mrs. Gruner’s home. Students will enjoy a day of western activities such as fire building, fishing, crafting, shelter building, lassoing, etc. Don your boots and giddy-up for a darn-tootin’ good time! We will need parent volunteers for half and whole day. A sign-up form was in the Tuesday folder. It’s a truly fun event to experience with your child!

Late Homework: Just a reminder that in 5th grade, late homework is accepted; however, every day it is late is minus 10 points.

F&F: We will begin our new unit on Plot. Study materials will be in binders this week.

At home, please encourage and assist your child in their studies, working ahead instead of waiting until the night before.

English: In Writing, we will continue working on our narrative stories, focusing on publishing. In ELA, we will continue working on simple, compound, and complex sentences using diagramming methods, as well as identifying and correcting run-on sentence errors.

Math: We will continue Unit 2 adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers. We will also learn how to multiply fractions by whole numbers. Homework will come home Tuesday and is due Friday.

Science/Social Studies: Next week students will start our unit on Electricity. I will have a substitute because our family is going to the beach next week. My grandchildren have a different Fall Break than we do!!

Spelling: List 4 and its Activity Sheet will be in binders this week. Due dates are on each sheet.

Bible: Memory Verse: The first memory verse we’re going to work on this year is our verse for the school year, Hebrews 10:24-25. “Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds…encouraging one another”
