Week in Review 5/8-5/12

Hey there!

With just a few more weeks of school, we have been winding down academics, and gearing up for lots of end-of-year fun. This week, we took our last notes as a class and took our last test! From here on out, we'll be focusing on planning and preparing for our Westward Expansion living history museum, going on a couple of field trips, gardening, and celebrating the fifth graders as they move on to middle school. We are excited to be completing another great year with our kiddos and all of you!


This week:

• We practiced metric conversions. 
• We practiced standard measurement conversions.
• We surveyed classmates and represented our collected data on line plots.
• We took our Measurement Final Test.
• We studied the effects of weather on Pioneers moving west in the late 1800s.
• We learned about how Westward Expansion benefitted some groups of people, while hurting others.
• We learned about the effects of the Transcontinental Railroad.
• Thunder Rolling in the Mountains reached its very somber conclusion.
• We got some serious weeding done in our Heritage Garden.
