Fifth Grade

 

Mr. Hogan, Howard Mathis, April Tanner

 

We are excited about our 5th grade students this year. They are enthused about all the wonderful things they expect to learn this year.  In math our focus skill was Place Value, rounding whole numbers and decimals, adding and subtracting decimals and whole numbers, and ordering numbers.  We are currently learning how to multiply by two and three digits numbers.   In Reading, our focus skill is identifying Main Idea and Details.  We studied Word Analysis, Text Structure and Theme.  This year in Science we are proud to have our first Science Club sponsored by Mr. Mathis.  The Science club is opened to students in grade levels 3, 4, 5 after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays.   The students are learning about plants life and their growth cycle.  In the classroom we are currently studying about the states of Matter. It is our school goal that all of our students will make AYP this year.

Parents please contact your child's teacher if you have any questions or would like to volunteer at school. Keep in mind that 5th grade is planning to attend Biz Town in the Spring of 2010. Please encourage your children to continue to make good choices.
