Happy Thursday!

*Wow, do we have some talent here at Menominee! I sat through and watched the tryouts last night for our Talent Show! It was fun to see all of those wonderful acts!

Our assignments today are:

Math: Problem set 113 - changing mixed numbers to improper fractions. Due on Friday. Ask your child to show you the Decimal Slide! This is a useful reminder of what to do when multiplying or dividing by decimals and powers of 10 (10, 100, 1000).

Science/Health : We reviewed for our test today and the students have a review assignment due on Friday. The test is Friday and vocabulary for chapter 5 is due also on Friday.

Reading: Mrs. D's class - we did a small reading activity today and most students finished in class. We will be starting a new book on Monday!

Mr. H's class - We began reading George Washington's Socks Chapter 1

Social Studies - We discussed the Revolutionary War - Taxation without representation.

English - The student's were asked to write a newspaper article discussing the Boston Tea Party from the point of view of someone who lived during that era.

Spelling - Workbook pages were turned in and our test is on Friday.


*We hope that everyone adjusts to the cooler temperatures that are supposed to happen this week! Remind your child to bring a jacket because they will be cold during recess if they do not!

*Help all students to remember to practice good choices during this final grading period. We want them to have good memories of 5th grade not memories of angry teachers.
