Happy First Day of Autumn
In Everyday Math we have learned about the three different ways to add two and three digit numbers. After we learned the three different ways, we got to use the method that we felt most comfortable with.
We are working still on the layers of the earth with a concentration on continental drift and plate tectonics. Each student constructed their own Pangea this week.
In Social Studies we had a very special guest...Mr. Phillips, our Superintendent, who led a simulation of the Stamp Act. (This was when the colonists were overly taxed by King George before the American Revolution.) The kids were given M&M's and they were taken away every time they were told to use specific paper, pencils, and books until the kids decided to protest and boycott. The lesson was lots of fun and we want to thank Mr. Phillips for sharing this lesson with us!
In reading, we have read about and have worked with lots of new vocabulary surrounding the Declaration of Independence. Did you know that Thomas Jefferson was only thirty-three when he wrote that important document that we still live by today?
Please remember to study for Spelling tests every Friday. Please talk about the different ways that you can study with family members and on your own.
We are pleased to announce a new edition to the 5th grade team. Lisa Roberts will be assisting us
and working with students daily. Welcome Ms. Roberts!

Successful Open House!
Thank you for coming to our Open House last night. We enjoyed meeting all of you!
This week in Math we learned about square numbers like 16, 25, and 49. In another lesson we learned how to unsquare them. Keep studying those multiplication facts! You're doing a great job! It's sooo important because we use them all year long!
In Science we are study on the layers of the Earth and made a great model of it.
In Social Studies we are learning all about all of the taxes that King George put on sugar, paper, and tea and how unfair it seemed to the colonists. The Revolutionary war is about to begin!
Important dates: 9/22/10- Early Release, 9/24/10-School Meeting- now at 2:15.
We are loving our new reading program and all of the reading opportunities that it provides for our students. They are reading, reading, reading!!!
Enjoy your BEAUTIFUL fall weekend!

Happy September!
We look forward to meeting all of you at Open House on September 15, from 6:00 to 7:30.
We are excited about our new Reading program that's called Literacy by Design. We are learning along with the kids and we are loving all of the components that come with the new program.
In Social Studies, we are studying the American Revolution. We learned about French and Indian War. Did you know that George Washington was only 21 years old when he started leading the colonists in battles?
In Science we are studying the layers of the Earth. Did you know that the Earth weighs about 6.6 sextillion (6,600,000,000, 000,000,000,000) tons! The hottest part of the Earth (the center) has temperatures as high as 13,000 degrees F.
In Everyday Math (EDM) we are looking at arrays like 3 X 4. Please practice your multiplication facts every night because we use these skills all year long in fifth grade!!
Spelling tests will still be every Friday.
Most of your notices will come on Friday afternoons, unless they are urgent.
School meeting will be Friday afternoon, Sept. 24th, at 2:15. Please note, that this is a new time from previous years.
