Grade Five Alive!

Here it is — the final countdown to the end of the 2008 – 2009 school year. We’ve been very busy in fifth grade.

Last week included two days of MCAS Math testing, and this week two days of Science MCAS testing are scheduled. Luckily Social Studies MCAS has been canceled this year due to state budget limitations.

In Science, groups of students are engrossed in their Biome Projects which we’ll share on this blog when they are completed. We finished A New Nation (the “Constitution” unit) in Social Studies and look forward to Westward Expansion.

Field trips and field day in June all lead up to our final day, a half day of school on June 19!
