Current Events: Please click here for a sample Current Event project. Students have the directions and grading rubric in their binders, and have signed up for a date to present. They should have the date written down in their planners. There is also a google doc with everyone's presentation date in google classroom.
40 Book Challenge: Students have been given the goal to read 40 books (on their level) this school year. They are encouraged to read books across different genres. They are to fill out an index card summaring and rating the book when they finish a book. They also have a book log in their binders to keep track of their books and the different genres.

Service Learning Project - Craft Sale
Carlton’s 5th graders will host a Craft Sale on Friday, May 8th, to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
Students can create their own class business or be part of a group business of no more than 5 people. Each business can choose one type of item to make. Students may choose to work with students from the other 5th-grade classes. Please note- participation in the Service Learning Project is optional. Those who choose to participate will need to manage their time to make products at home.
Students will have 4 weeks (or 5 weeks if you include Spring Break) to make their products to sell to the Carlton community at the craft sale, on Friday, May 8th. Students with a class business should plan to spend 30-40 minutes after school on that day.
I usually put a price cap of $20 to be spent on materials, but since this is a fundraiser, I'll let you discuss how much money to invest in materials as a family.
We hope students find purpose in this service learning project and learn that small actions have a big impact and that we can use our privilege to support those in need.
Thank you for your support. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
This week, we will learn about Tall Tales and read a few different ones. Students will identify the different elements of a Tall Tale and begin to think of their own Tall Tale to write.
This week, our Greek/Latin root is socio (friend, companion). We will review prefixes and suffixes learned so far this year. The vocab test will be on Friday.
In writing, students will begin a new opinion essay about Camp Campbell.
This week, we will continue Module 5, which focuses on addition and multiplication with area & volume. This week we will focus on Topic D, which focuses on volume in real world situations.
