   5th Grade Overview

  November 16-20, 2026

Thanksgiving Lunch – November 20: Please see the website for details on class times and how to sign up (scroll to the bottom of the homepage). 

House Game – November 20: Students should wear house shirts for a fun morning competition! Games will be done by Thanksgiving lunch time.  

Spelling Bee: If your child is interested in participating in the school spelling bee, have them stop by Miss Robinson’s classroom to pick up a spelling list. The spelling bee will be in January. 

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 our unit on Plot with the Performance Test on Tuesday, November 17. Then we will practice reading skills in class for the rest of the week. Following Thanksgiving Break we will begin a new unit, but there will not be homework (unless your child misses a school day).

English: In Writing, we are beginning our next narrative project. In ELA, we are nearly done with our Nouns unit, as we will begin our “deep dive” into possessive nouns and look at appositives.

Math: We are continuing Unit 3 covering place value, comparing decimals, and rounding decimals. We will learn what happens when we multiply and divide decimals by 10 and how to convert between measurement systems. Homework goes home Monday and is due Thursday. 

Science/Social Studies: We will finish our unit on the growth of the United States next week - students will have an Open Book Review rather than a test on this unit. They have been assigned a fictional immigrant interview based on what they have learned in class through reading and videos. They will have time to work on these in class.

Spelling: List 6 and its Activity Sheet are in binders. Activity Sheet is due Thursday, November 19; Test will be on Thursday, November 19, due to Thanksgiving lunch on Friday.

Bible: We’ve been working through the New Testament and the beginning of Jesus’ life to begin the year. We are continuing our work through the start of Jesus’ ministry including discussions on the “woman at the well,” “teaching Nicodemus,” and Jesus being rejected in his own town.
