5th Grade reading and Social Studies

Reading- 

  We are in full swing with implementing the Treasures pilot for this school year.  The students have finished the entire first unit: Standing Up for What's Right.  The second unit dives into Investigations.  Your child will be learning about scientific studies, such as the scientific method, using microscopes, the food web, and robots.  Below are a few links to helpful information about the reading program and games your child can play to help further their understanding of reading strategies:

Social Studies-

  The students are starting their Fourth Unit.  They will be studying about profit and loss, good business practice, and how businesses compete with each other.  The final project for this unit will be the creation of their very own cruise line company.  For example, students will be able to design the ship and cruise line packages.  They will compete for customers and the winning cruise ship will set sail on the sea of success.
