Welcome back! We hope everyone had a relaxing Thanksgiving break. Thank you to all of you who sent in food for fifth graders to celebrate Thanksgiving. We had a fun time!
This week we will continue learning about Ancient Egypt and its impact on society today, as well as about their Gods and Goddesses, traditions and daily life.
Students will start their research project this week where they are
expected to research a chosen topic, take notes, present their topi
c to
the class, and produce a written summary of everything they've learned.
They will have two weeks to work on this project in school.
In Math we will continue estimating and dividing. Do not forget to practice Xtramath at least three times a week!
In Reading and Writing we continue to read and write informational texts and essays on Ancient Egypt. We are almost done reading The Egypt Game.
This week we also begin our Science unit on FOOD. We will be learning about nutrition and making the right food choices to stay healthy. Students will be recording what they eat for a week. We will reflect on this food journal to make the necessary changes. We will also be reading food labels and making sure we choose what is best for our bodies. We will also be inquiring into the foods the Ancient Egyptians ate.
PARENT VOLUNTEERS: We would like to take students on a hike to La Tigre.
If there are parents who are familiar with the area and are willing to
guide students on the hike, please contact Ms. Nydia or Ms. Linh.
Thank you!
