What a great first week of fifth grade!!! The year is already in full swing and our students are doing a wonderful job getting back into the school routine.
For the first few days of school, the students completed several collaborative activities to promote positive communication and teamwork. We will be working on the Raider Pride traits (be respectful, be responsible, be ready, be safe) every week so that the students can see the importance of being good citizens, both inside and outside of school. Please talk with your student about these traits at home so that they can see the connection.
We have started our first topic in math, which is multiplying whole numbers. The students have learned about four properties of multiplication and how to identify those properties. In ELA, the students have been focusing on capitalization and main idea and details. Science and social studies will begin next week.
Accelerated Reader (AR) counts as a reading grade in 5 th grade. The students have received their AR reading range and points for Trimester 1. The students must read books that are in their designated range and must reach their AR point goal by the end of Trimester 1 to receive full credit. **The AR quizzing system is not up and running yet. We will let the students know when they can begin taking quizzes. Quizzes can ONLY be taken at school.**
