On Friday, December 16th, the fifth grade is looking forward to turning our classrooms into cinemas to celebrate the start of our holiday vacation. As you know, students will be viewing a movie of their choice, and enjoying a snack of popcorn and water as well. To make our rooms a bit cozier, we are allowing students to bring in a pillow, cushion, or small blanket to sit upon while watching the movie. We ask that the items be no larger than a normal size beach blanket to ensure we have enough room for everyone to be comfortable. Thank you!!

Curriculum Updates:
Reading: Our next set of skills that we will be working on focuses on generalizations, facts, and opinions. We will especially focus on identifying generalizations, as well as if they are valid or invalid. In addition, students will learn how to change an invalid generalization into a valid generalization. Ask your student to share the key words for identifying invalid generalizations!
Math: We will be finishing up our very short unit on perimeter by learning about circles and how to find the circumference of a circle. Students will have a test on Tuesday over the perimeter material. Then, we will spend the last three days before break reviewing and practicing with coordinate graphing. See above for links to some fun activities!
