Museum free of charge as part of an
engineering grant. Students will need
to bring a bag lunch to school this
day, unless they have ordered one
from our school.
ART VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!If you have a love of art or you love helping
children make art… we need you!! No art
background is needed, as you will be
trained. Art is done in the classroom on a
schedule you coordinate with the teacher.

WHAT HAVE WE BEEN UP TO?
This week we wrapped up Unit 1 inmath. This unit focused on word problems
involving multiplication and division. Students
learned several strategies for solving problems
relating to different mathematical situations.
We will take the Unit Test on Monday, which
will be shared at conferences next week. We will
start Unit 2 after conferences. It is a short unit
that focuses on the area and perimeter of
triangles and quadrilaterals.
We continued working with our IBPlanner, titled The Human Machine. This week
we focused our inquiry on the skeletal and
muscular system. We counted the number of
bones in our bodies and even got to dissect an
owl pellet to look for rodent bones. We also
learned about muscles and their role in our
bodies. We had a guest speaker this week, my
husband who is a foot and ankle surgeon. The
kids had a lot of really good questions for him.
Next week, we will focus our inquiry on thenervous system and start working on the
summative assessment for this unit of inquiry.
In spelling we focused on words with the
long o sound. We will be working on one
spelling list over the next two short weeks at
school.
Students also completed the mile run in
gym this week. They did a fantastic job! I was a
risk-taker myself and ran with them. It was great
seeing them work hard to accomplish their goal.Have a great week!
PATROL UPDATE!!The ORANGE team will be on duty from
October 11 – October 29. The schedule
will be posted at school and on our fifth
grade team website:

FIRST GRADE BUDDIESWe started working with our first grade
buddies this week. Each fifth grader is
paired up with a first grader from Ms.
Pam’s class. We will be meeting once a
week throughout the school year to help
the first graders with their reading and
writing. We will also share work that we
have done in class. This is a great way to
build cross-age connections!!
