5th Grade Overview

March 7 - 13

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

March 11 @ 3:45 PM – Parent Tybee Island Meeting – Sanctuary: This meeting will answer all your questions, and you will leave with a packing list. 

F&F: We will continue in the Plot unit. Study sheets will be in binders this week. HOMEWORK IS BACK! Please ask your child daily if he/she has read the assignment, which will average out to be about every other night. Reading assignments should be logged into their agendas on a daily basis, as needed. Please review the process questions and vocabulary with your child throughout the unit. Testing will be the week of March 16.

English: In ELA, we are beginning our adjectives unit. In Writing, we will continue working with our narrative book publishing unit. Please see the following paragraphs.

The 5th grade is publishing a book about making the world a kinder place, using independently written stories from class and Student Treasures as our publishing company. Information about the project and an order form were sent home this past week in Tuesday folders. 

There is no obligation to purchase a book, but it is absolutely imperative that order forms (whether you purchase a book or not) are returned by March 25th (or sooner) so the school can receive a copy to archive this class’s achievement in the library. Please review the information and keep up with updates as Mr. Grisar sends them home electronically or in Tuesday folders.

Math: We will continue Unit 5, reviewing multiplying fractions by fractions and whole numbers. Homework will come home Monday and is due Friday. 

Science/Social Studies: Students will have a quiz over the countries of Northern Africa on Tuesday, March 10th. They will be learning the countries of Southern Africa the following week. Yes, they will eventually have an optional quiz over all the countries of Africa for extra credit and maybe even an additional prize! This will go along with our continuing unit on the world’s water supply.

Spelling: Spelling list 12 and its activity sheet will be in binders Monday. The activity sheet is due on Wednesday, March 11. Test 12 will be on Friday, March 13. 

Bible: We have finished with Joshua and have been working through Judges. Next up is Ruth the great great grandmother of King David.
