Return from camp!

Thank you parents for making 5th grade camp so successful. We would not have such a wonderful camp without all of you that volunteered.  Thank you very much!

The students were right back into the swing of things today.  We began this morning with taking the M-Step Social Studies test.  This test is one of two different parts (part 2 will be tomorrow). All students were able to finish the test during the morning.  

During writers' workshop, students re-examined their informational topics.  We focused on audience, purpose, and developing a plan that matches the student's purpose. Ask your child about their topic and different subtopics.

In the afternoon, we were able to switch classes.  During science, we were able to debrief about camp and relate their camp experience to our final unit called Environments.

Homework:
- 30 minutes of reading

Reminders:
- Please consider donating something to our Spring Fair basket.  Our theme is 'Movie Night.'  Thank you!
