A Great Start

Hey Fifth Graders!  We are well into the year now and I hope everyone is feeling like an important part of the Courageous Climbers.  I think each one of you is adding such a great personality to our class.

So far we've studied some of the major lakes of the world and have learned about most of the fifty states.  We have another states test this Friday and I hope you study hard this time.  Remember to try studying like Khylee mentioned.  Write the names of the states and capitals often and you should do well.  Be ready to study my favorite animal this week...anyone know what it is and where we'll be learning about?

In math, we've been working on multiplying and have just started dividing.  (I think we'll have to do a little more review on multiplying after looking over last week's homework.)  Remember, if you don't know your multiplication facts quickly, practice them fifteen minutes a night!

Hope you liked science last week.  The volcano was fun to watch...I hope to show you more volcano videos when we have time in class.  We will work on history this week and pick up science again next.  

You are really getting great at your writing.  I know it's laborious to have to write the dressed up sentences, but it's paying off because your volcano essays were really good.  I'm looking forward to reading all about elephants next Tuesday (that's when the essays are due!!!!)

That's about all for now.  Have a great week and remember to read every night and log it!  

Your teacher,

Mrs Cardinal
