Science Fair Projects Due in Three Weeks!
Past Two Weeks in Review: January28- February 8
Last week students started their new Magnet Monday groups. Thanks to everyone who already has or plans on donating their tax credit money to support Marshall and our Magnet programs. Students were also excited to premiere the 5th grade movie, Back to the Future. I hope to get a link to the movie as soon as I have time, and then everyone can enjoy the movie from home.
In academics, the fifth graders have been working hard mastering the addition and subtraction of fractions. Students were assessed last week on this topic, but won't be bringing home their tests until we've had time to go over them and complete some reteaching. We've also spent quite a bit of time working on our space unit. Students have completed Expert's readings on the Moon, Earths rotation and revolution, gravity, and constellations. In writing, students practiced writing a multi-paragraph essay. They did great!
What a great trip to Lowell Observatory yesterday! Ask your fifth grader about it!

Looking Ahead
Next week we'll be multiplying fractions, continuing our study of space, and getting close to finishing George's Secret Key to the Universe.
