   5th Grade Overview

 October 5 - 7, 2026

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 will be coming home soon. 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 finish the Sequence of Events unit and testing. At home, please encourage and assist your child in their studies, working ahead instead of waiting until the night before. Skills Tests are on Monday, October 5; Performance Test is Tuesday, October 6.

English: In Writing, we will continue with our narrative stories. 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. Quiz Tuesday on types of sentences.

Math: We will continue Unit 2 adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers. We will also learn how to multiply fractions by whole numbers. No homework! Enjoy Fall Break!

Science/Social Studies: Next week we will listen to our classmate’s slide show presentations. When we come back from Fall Break, we will start a unit on Electricity.

Spelling: No spelling until after Fall Break!

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”
