Newsletter Week of April 20 -24

Note from the Teacher:

      It is hard to believe we have a little over four weeks of school left.  For security purposes, the students can now find a link for our ZOOM meetings in Google Classroom.  We will continue to have our Zoom meetings daily as we focus on academics. Our goals are to finish our last novel, Johnny Tremain, learn about equations and graphs, create various types of poetry, and explore the mysteries of science.  The fifth graders have all that is needed to finish the year, therefore will not need to pick up anything at school during the final pick up.   As always, thank you for your support! Stay healthy and safe!

Area of Focus: 
Math: Topic 17 Equations and Graphs
Reading: Novel Johnny Tremain

Language Arts: Poetry 

Social Studies: USA  Studies Weekly # 21
