Harvest Is When I Need You Most

This week we will be pretty much continuing on with the units we've been studying recently: quotation marks, sentence structures, science (Mars rovers), and energy (in our current Reading unit).

My Math class had a test on Friday, but this week we will be having a "leftovers" mini-unit where we won't be continuing into Unit 3, but we will instead delve into some parts of Unit 2 that were left by the wayside because they either led to further confusion or were incongruous to the rest of the unit. This includes exponents (which are not a part of scientific notation) and metric conversions.

We will have a spelling list like normal this week, despite our trip to Camp Jameson on Thursday. I told the kids that they will have to have all of their homework completed by the time they are allowed to do anything fun at Camp Jameson. I did it last year; I'll do it this year!

I'm grateful that I have so many parents going with us this year to Jameson once again. I always have the best group of parent volunteers out of the whole fifth grade, and I'm guessing that this year is no exception.

Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime, in the in-between time.
