| Assignments 5th Grade curriculum is exciting. In Science, we learn about Matter, Electricity, Magnetism, Heredity, Physical Features and Land Forms of the Earth. We have an Art specialist, Rosie Mitchell, who will be teaching Art concepts throughout the year. We will be reading lots of wonderful stories and novels to improve our reading skills and learn more about the world. We will have Math activities to help fine tune math skills; for example, math facts competitions, math jeopardy, etc. We have computers at our desks to write lots of stories, journals, projects, and activities. Ms. Munns loves music, and will be using her guitar to teach music, theory, timing, harmony, and we will learn songs about America and other countries. Perhaps you have a favorite song you would like to share with the class and we can learn together? Come prepared the first week to share that song. We also will be learning how to play ukuleles. They are similar to a guitar, smaller, but only have 4 strings instead of 6.

Practice your math facts. You must know inside and out the times tables from 1-12. Practice the division side of your math facts.
Parent Notes T Look each week for the yellow Missing Assignments report to come home each Monday. This report shows what has been completed for the week and what has not been done. Every assignment left undone is an opportunity lost for learning. Please encourage and follow through with you child through this form. Ask for the yellow paper when they walk through the door on Monday.
