This is Fifth Grade--Welcome!  

This year is going to be an exciting, challenging, and memorable year.  Everything we will be doing will require all your knowledge, talent, and creativity.  We are going to be reading, and reading a lot!  The novels we read will make you smile, laugh, think, and cry. Writing?  Oh yes!  You will be doing a lot of that.  You will be keeping journals, writing diaries from historical events, writing poetry, verse, writing research papers, and more and more.  Oh, don't forget about math and science--we surly haven't.  When's the last time you created your own tessellation?  Or tossed your creative "egg chamber" from 40 feet?  

 In Social Studies we will explore how our country was formed and the responsibility of freedom.  This year, of course, we will be visiting Jamestown, Yorktown and Williamsburg.  In addition to this, we will also be creating our own country which will include a government, a monetary system as well as student owned businesses.  And don't forget about your State Report that includes a virtual trip to that state.  Hey, we'll even give you your own drivers license and credit card!  

One of our goals in fifth grade is to foster a supportive environment where children are concerned with finding multiple solutions to problems rather than finding any one right answer. 

So, now that you have been invited--come along!
