In our class, we take learning seriously, but we also make it fun! This year, I challenge you to make learning fun at home by helping your child research the topics we are learning about in class.  Please have students log on to Classlink and access our Science texts, Gallopade Social Studies texts, and use Study Island for lessons and quizzes.  Please help your child to study information from the study guides that will be sent home several days before each unit test.  You can access Classlink by going to the Lowndes County Schools website and choosing "ClassLink" on the right hand bar. Thank you in advance for your commitment to your child's education!

5th Grade Tips:

• Practice your multiplication and division facts over the summer! You are expected to be fluent with facts 1-12 in fifth grade!

• READ over the summer! The best way to avoid the summer slide with your Lexile is to read, read, read! 

• Get out and observe the world around you! Science is everywhere! 

• Wear deodorant and bring an extra one to school
