Mrs. Armstrong's 5th Grade
Math & English
5th Grade Math builds a strong foundation in mathematical concepts and numerical problem-solving skills. Students will explore advanced operations, whole whole and part numbers, develop an understanding of geometrical concepts, and strengthen their ability to reason mathematically. We will use measurements & data, algebraic thinking, and order of operations.
5th Grade English Language Arts focuses on developing strong reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Students will read a variety of texts, learn to think critically, and express their ideas clearly in written and spoken form. Our curriculum encourages exposure to a wide rang of literature and the confidence to communicate effectively. We will analyze different aspects of texts, analyze the text as a whole, and compare different texts as well as explore text in different forms.

Our 4th-8th-grade Dancing through the Decades dances are coming up this weekend. Middle School (6th-8th grade) on Friday, February 20th, at 6-8 pm. 4th-5th-grade on Saturday, February 21st, at 6-8 pm. These dances take place at the K-3 campus gymnasium. There is a $5 entry fee per student.
We need your help obtaining food and volunteers for the dances. We have created a Walmart Wish List for the food that we need for all the dances!

Come dressed up in any decade, 50's through 90's!!! We will be having best-dressed contests! There will also be plenty of selfie picture setups! We will also have a 360 photo booth that requires the use of a phone and is $5/session.
Reminder, these dances are just for our students and the grades intended for. Siblings in other grades or friends/family from other schools are not permitted.
Please make sure your students' attire obeys our dress code: Outfits worn should not show cleavage, lower back, or midriff. Skirts or dresses should not be shorter than 3 inches above the knee or have slits shorter than 3 inches above the knee. If not dressed appropriately, you will be denied entrance to the dance.
Pick up will operate just like a regular end-of-day pick up at the K-3 campus. Parents need to line up behind the school and wait for pick up to begin at 8:00 p.m. Parents should not come in for pick up unless an early pick up is necessary.
We thank you all in advance for your support; we couldn't put on these dances without your help.
