Grade 5: January 20-31st

We are starting a new unit on landforms! Students will learn various landforms in mountain, plains, ocean, and desert regions and will then make a model of their region's landforms in groups. Any materials that would help construct models of landforms is appreciated, especially clay. We will investigate many real life examples of landforms and how they were created. This will lead into river systems and how they weather and erode the land, as well as topography and contour lines of mountains, canyons, and hills.

Jan 20 -22 Events

Parents, we will have student led conferences on Thursday Jan 21st from 3:30-4:30 pm in Ms. Rennie's room. This is an opportunity to hear your child tell you what s/he has learned during the semester and see a compilation of your child's work. If this time does not work for you, you may reschedule a more appropriate one. Just let me know. Please check your child's folder for this notice.
