Spring in 5-C

Hi all,

Now that the dust has mostly settled from our amazing trip to Mystic and a beautiful spring break, we are back, hard at work here in fifth grade. 

We are working to finish our Mystic movies and polish our Clipper presentations for All Hands on Deck.  We will be studying westward expansion soon as well.  Our next book will be The Ballad of Lucy Whipple, which will tie in nicely with the U.S. expansion topic.  In grammar, we are finishing adverbs and moving on to prepositions.  Decimals is our unit of focus in math.  We will be completing poetry projects in writing, all while we continue our spelling units and the various special subjects. 

This term, our class will handle the recycling for the entire lower school as part of our Junior Senate responsibilities. 

Again, you will see that there is so much going on in class.  We are striving to be consistent in our work and be excellent citizens as the leaders of the lower school. 

More to come, and there is plenty to be excited about. 

Best,
Mr. C.
