WEEK OF MAY 14-18th









ROOM 12 NEWS-
-This week our 5th graders will start practicing the 13 Colony Musical in the cafeteria in the afternoons to get ready for the big show on Friday, June 1st. Please get some kind of costume and have your child bring it to school in a bag with their name on it. Check the blog for some cool pictures from my class two years ago.
-In reading the class will continue with My Side of the Mountain. There will be SMART responder comprehension and vocabulary quizzes. I highly recommend "WORD DYNAMO" to learn new vocabulary.
-In writing we will be learning to write with STYLE! The goal is to improve our sentence structure with exciting adjectives and powerful verbs to make our writing come alive.
-In math we will be doing challenging MARS math problems along with a little Saxon Math.
-In Geography we will resume learning our states and capitals with a fun packet that reinforces these map skills. Also, we will be playing Stack the States together using the iPad. Furthermore, our class will have more time to work on their state brochure on Pages in the computer lab.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-As a reminder, this Thursday our class will be going to the Santa Cruz County Courthouse for the Cookie Court Mock Trial. I will send out an e-mail with the drivers on Monday.
- I am sending home the Family Life Permission Slips Monday. Please sign and return the slips Tuesday. If you are unsure, Ms. Dorney is doing a viewing of the movie on Tuesday evening after school.
-Please remember to send in your Boardwalk Field Trip form along with the $ by Friday, May 18th. Return the form and write "Season Pass" if you have a pass.

That's about it for now,
Mr. Sweet
