Dear Families,

Happy Valentine’s Day! I wanted to thank everyone for all the wonderful Valentine gifts.  It was so very thoughtful.  This is going to be a very busy and fun week for the fifth grade class.  This Wednesday we will be going on our field trip to the Santa Barbara Museum with the third grade a class. For the field trip the students need to bring a sack lunch and they need to wear their full uniforms. Friday there is no school for a teacher in service.

Below is an overview of our week:

Spelling:  We will be working on unit 22 and the focus is on suffixes.

Voc:  Unit 9

Literature:  We will continue with our story, My Own Story.

Math:  We will be adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. The students are doing very well with their Acc Math.  Please encourage your child to complete three a week.

Science: We will be learning all about the different forms of precipitation

Social Studies:  We are learning about our colonial heritage.  All students should be working on their school fair projects.  If you have any questions about this please feel free to contact me

English:  We will be reviewing the four different types of sentences, run on sentences,  and  compound sentences.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Thank you

Ms. Carney
