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.

Pool Party
The 5th grade pool party is this Friday. Please make sure your child comes to school wearing comfortable walking shoes and sunscreen. Your child should bring (or wear under clothing) a swimsuit and sunscreen. We will be outside all day, so depending on the weather conditions, you may want to pack a sweatshirt and hat. Due to admission cost and fire regulations, only parents working the event are allowed to attend.
Walk Through the American Revolution
Students have been assigned a character and/or expert card for the Walk Through the American Revolution, which will take place on Monday, June 1st at 12:00-2:30 in the cafeteria. Parents are invited to attend. Students should practice their card(s). Dressing up in time period costumes is encouraged. We have a big bin of costumes (and props), or a costume can be pulled together with things already at home. There is NO NEED to buy a costume or props. Students can also make a bonnet or tricorn hat, which will count as a costume.
If you plan to attend, please pick up your badge from the office early to avoid long lines.
This week, we will continue our class novel- Grump, A Fairly True Tale. We are listening to it on audio and will continue to use Notice and Note signposts and Depth and Complexity for reading comprehension.
In writing, students will work on letters of gratitude to say thanks to important people who have helped shape their time at Carlton.
We will continue Module 6 this week, which focuses on coordinates.
In 5th grade, all students must be fluent with multiplication facts. Please practice at home if your child is not fluent.
This week, we continue to practice for the Walk Through the American Revolution. We will spend time getting into our groups to practice our battle scenes and character cards.
