Fifth graders have been getting excited with all our end-of-the-year projects that are taking place. We are currently writing letters to NASA based around our research of space tools and planets. Afterwards, we will then get creative and design our own planets.We will also be using our knowledge ofcoordinate grids order pairs in math to be able to create and design our own cities. Lastly, we are finishing up the school year with our last unit of social studies, which is about the Civil War.

In math, fifth graders are learning about coordinate planes. They are focusing on plotting points, finding the distance between points and reading and graphing data. In ELA, the students are learning all about planets and space tools. They will use this information to create a “letter to NASA” by making a claim for which space tool we believe should receive government funding for future research, on a specific planet. They will also use the evidence they have found to support their claims. In science, students are preparing for the state test. In social studies, the students are beginning a unit on the Civil War. We would like to thank the PTA for all the generous surprises during Teacher Appreciation Week!

The fifth graders are wrapping up their math unit on multiplying fractions and mixed numbers and will move on to dividing fractions. In social studies, they will study the first president of the United States, the Louisiana Purchase, the War of 1812, and the Trail of Tears. In ELA, the students are finishing and publishing adventure stories. Check out their stories by scanning the QR codes in the fifth-grade hallway! The students are also reading a new class novel,“Schooled” by Gordon Korman. They are also very excited about the National Circus project coming to EQ. Thank you to the PTA for providing this special opportunity for our students.
