Art Drawing Video.mp4Hello 5th Grade Families
It is the week June 8th! We sure hope that you have enjoyed the learning we have set up for you! By now, all of you have hopefully made your “Graduation Cap” and have sent a pic to your teacher. Now remember, you are not really ‘graduating’, you are moving up to grade 6. Learning is LIFELONG, we all love learning!
Take a look at this week’s activities. Make sure to ask questions by emailing your teacher. You can share questions also at your classroom Zoom meeting this week.
Take a look at the PE page this week - there is a super fun video for you! And there are so many 'other learning opportunities", one page could hardly hold them.
We know that you are looking forward to the summer. The official last day of school for the year is June 19th. Until then, keep on learning!
We sure miss each and every one of you! We LOVE getting your work! Keep it up!
Your Grade 5 Teachers
Hi Fifth Grade Families!
Wow! Welcome to June! Can you ‘smell’ the summer coming? Get excited for some fun learning this week! Whether it is Math, ELA, Science or Social Studies, we have some great stuff here for your brain! Yippee for Learning!
Make sure to check out FlipGRID. Have fun with it. Make sure to read the information about making your Graduation Cap. It is on the link, “ Other Learning Opportunities”. Come by the school, pick up the materials, and send your teacher a pic by June 12th. If you aren't able to pick up the materials, let us know!
Ever hear of an Easter Egg? No, not the bunny kind. I wonder if there are any here? 1, 2, 5? Think eggs!
We look forward to seeing you on Zoom this week! Do your best and make sure to reach out to us with any questions! We miss you!
It's great to be in this together

Hi Fifth Grade Students and Families!
It is Mid-May! Can you believe it? Did you have fun last week with the School Spirit Week? You should make sure to have your parents check out the MHE Facebook Page! How is the learning going on this In Home Learning Site? Make SURE to email us, your teachers, if you have ANY questions.
Be sure to check out the OTHER LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES page - you will find a Virtual STEM Experience and a series of Second Step Lessons on Taking Other's Perspective.
Many of you have sent us such great work! We are so excited to see all the amazing and creative thinking you continue to do. We hope you enjoy this week’s learning activities. The online assignments will continue to be uploaded on the Maplewood Height’s website every week.
Your teacher also has other work in your Google Classroom site. If you have any questions on how to get to it, please email your teacher.
Many of you fifth graders are used to accessing your classroom’s Google Classroom , but here is a refresher for you: Renton School District Home Page > RSD Login Portal(blue box) > Login with username and password > Google Classroom
We can’t wait to see the great work you all do this week! Stay healthy, stay safe and keep learning! We miss you! Keep up the great work!!

Week of May 4
Hi Fifth Grade Families!
Can you believe May is here? We sure enjoy seeing you at the Class Meetings on Zoom! We are hoping you find this week’s “In Home Learning Educational Activities” valuable. Remember students, ask questions at your Zoom meetings, and also email your teacher if you have any questions on the learning.
How is it going? Are you keeping a daily schedule? Remember, though you are at home, you are still in school and getting an education. Learning is fun and valuable! Always remember the Digital Citizenship Expectations as you use the technology. Stay healthy, stay safe, and keep learning!
Sincerely,
The Maplewood 5th Grade Team
Hi Fifth Grade Families!
How are you all doing? Yes! We miss you too! We sure hope that you have been able to go to this site to work on the grade 5 activities in Math, ELA, History, Science and more! By now, you realize there is school work to do every day of the week, just like in the classroom. We know there is a lot there, and we want you to do your very best. Learning is fun and valuable! You really might want to make yourself a daily schedule, just like at school! Set a time in the morning to begin, and after lunch. Make sure to include music, exercise and art, and most of all, KINDNESS to all of your family! Please reach out with any questions, concerns or needs you may have by contacting your teacher. Stay healthy, stay safe and keep learning!

Hi There Families and Students of Maplewood Heights Fifth Graders! We wanted to say hello again and tell you we miss all of you very much. We know everyone is doing different things to stay busy, and perhaps you were able to go onto this website page and look at some of the educational activities we posted. These are optional. It would be nice to hear how they are going if you have time to do them. Remember, your fifth grade teachers all have Google Classroom pages that you can go to, and students, you can all email us on your student email accounts if you have any questions.
We have added some new activities for this week but we are fully aware that you have other things that might be more important right now. Once again we miss you all very much and we will see you soon.
Welcome Week of 3.30.20
Hi Fifth Grade Families at Maplewood Heights!
This is the fifth grade team of teachers sending you a message to say hello and let you know we are thinking of you! We want to let all of our students know we miss them very much and look forward to seeing them soon. We will be updating this In-Home Learning Page weekly and adding new activities for our grade 5 students to further enhance their education. All of this is enrichment and optional, but we feel it is very important and meaningful. If you do these weekly activities in addition to the extra enrichment on Google Classroom and other online educational sites this will help you maintain the skills that you have learned so far this year.
We care about you very much, and you can reach us on our school emails, and students, you can use your own school email accounts.
Once again these activities will be updated once a week.
Have a wonderful day!
