Over the next few weeks, we will engage in our final round of MMSD assessments for the year. Your child will be assessed on reading fluency, reading comprehension, microphases (spelling) and a final math interim assessment.

Dickerson 5/26

We have sent home permission slips for two more field trips at beginning of June. We will need parent volunteers to join us at Lake Kegonsa to allow for more freedom of activities with smaller groups. PLEASE consider joining us on Thursday, June 4th. Chaperones do need to be Level 2 approved. Here is the link you can use to make this happen. Please do this asap if you plan to join us so that the your application has time to be approved. We can't allow parent chaperones who have not gone through this process to attend. This is an MMSD rule.
Interested in volunteering at Randall or chaperoning a field trip with your child's class - start the process now by visiting the Volunteering page at MMSD’s website.

Math

Unit 7 in our Bridges Curriculum will focus on division of whole numbers and fractions.
This week we took the Bridges Assessment #3 and continued our work in Unit 7.
During the week of May 22nd we will assess Unit 7 and officially finish the 5th grade Bridges curriculum.
For the remainder of the year,we will revisit some skills that could use some extra practice before summer.
May Number Corner will focus on ordered pairs, coordinate grids, customary units in measuring volume with liquids and using conversion strategies to go from cups to ounces.

Literacy this week

This week we some classes finished their final project for this EL Module 3.
Now that the third module is complete, students will be choosing chapter books among various genres to read and then, using a variety of activity options, summarize their book.
Each classroom is doing a read aloud as well! Ask your 5th grader what book we are using.

Science --Earth Systems

We are in our fourth unit of science, Earth Systems, as we answer the question:

What can determine how much water is available for human use?

Our first chapter will focus on : Why is East Ferris running out of water while West Ferris is not?
Our second chapter will focus on : Why does more rain form over West Ferris than East Ferris?
Our third chapter will focus on : Why is more water vapor getting cold over West Ferris than East Ferris?
Our fourth chapter will focus on : Why is there more water vapor hugh up over West Ferris than East Ferris?
