Hi Fifth Graders and Parents,
This month finds us almost half way through the school year. The second
midterm is Friday the 4th. Wow, time is going by fast! While this month is
going to by filled with fun extras, we also have Science, Social Studies, and
Math that will keep us busy too!
Social Studies is getting more and more interesting as we get closer to
colonial times. We have some fun and interesting activities lined out for
learning about the 13 English colonies. Math has been challenging with the
kids working so hard on dividing whole numbers and decimals, I know it's not
the easiest area in Math, but soon we will move on to data, statistics and
graphs which is a fun thing to do after all the long division! We are almost
to the Earth Science unit in Science. Life Science has been interesting
though, and the last tests were quite impressive. Ask your 5th. Grader to
show you his or her test!
This month is also FULL of FUN! We have a matinee performance by the NTCHS
Drama Club on Friday. We will be doing that in the afternoon. Hillside
Colony students will be going with the 5th. and 6th. Graders. The following
Monday the 5th. and 6th. Graders will be heading to Hillside Colony School to
watch their Christmas play! Next we will be practicing for our play which
will be at 2:00 PM on the 15th. We get to go on our ski day on the 17th. and
finally, we get to do a movie day in Conrad on the 18!
Wow! Fun and busy times are the best!
