Our calendar in 5th grade is filling up quickly!
In Social Studies this week, we had some great economics lessons from Mr. Woodward using the Junior Achievement program. The kids have loved it! They have learned about the different kinds of businesses and advertising. They then learned about interviewing for jobs and finally they were asked to create their own businesses with partners and advertise them. We had some really creative ideas!
In Science we are making huge, fabulous timelines of planet Earth. We plotted from the beginning of time through present day!
In Math we just finished our unit on volume and capacity and we will start unit 12.
Today we are attending our band and chorus concert. The kids involved have practiced a lot for this and sound great!
Our Storybook Parade is tomorrow at 2:15. Mrs. Woodward's class is representing the book, Harry Potter, and Mrs. Shane's class, The Warrior's Series.
Please continue to read for 30 minutes each night and practice reading aloud to someone at home!

In Social Studies we started our research project on Famous Americans. The kids picked who they wanted to study and are taking notes from websites chosen by Mrs. Gurley-Mozie. This entire project lives on Mrs. Gurley-Mozie's website.
In math we are using formulas to find volume of cylinders, prisms, and cones.
Please keep reading 30 minutes each night!! We continue to work on fluency and comprehension every day in reading.
Enjoy this lovely spring weather!!

What Do May Showers Bring?
In Science this week we started our unit on Fossils. Mrs. Gurley-Mozie found some really cool sites for us to view and they live on her web page.
In Social Studies, we are participating in a Service Learning project with the 2nd grade. Our 5th graders learned how to use Google Earth with the help of Mrs. Gurley-Mozie and we are going to teach the 2nd graders how to use it. We will show them animals that they are studying in Kenya, Africa!
In Math we are measuring and determining volume of cylinders. We are measuring and using formulas.
In Reading we have been working all week on our DRA's. These are our Developmental Reading Assessments. The kids have done a great job demonstrating their fluency and comprehension with these.
Have a Happy Mother's Day weekend!!
