Going into May, it is amazing to see just how fast this year has gone by! With the nice weather fast approaching and the end of the year on the horizon, I always take time at this point of the school year to look back and think of all we have accomplished. The middle school has done so much and each grade has been able to put their own stamp on this school year. We all enjoy this time where we start to wrap up units, tests and projects and even ERB testing, so we can focus on the fun things like class trips, field day and the signing of year books! I hope for the end of the year we can all look back and reflect on just how magical this year was and I hope the students always remember the friendships and memories they have been able to make!

ELA: This week in ELA, 5th grade completed Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry and started their preservation project. We reflected on themes of the novel, particularly what it has to say about home and land. This informed students’ own storytelling for their personal historic markers. 5th grade also tested vocabulary on Wednesday, so check for those grades in their take home folders.
Next week, 5th grade will complete their historic marker project and participate in year-end review activities in both grammar and vocabulary!
Science: 5th graders crushed their ERB testing this week! I am so proud of them!
Social Studies: Congratulations to 5th on doing so well on ERB. When I did have them this week we worked on Asian geography and took our test this Friday. We also did work on our research papers! Next week we will continue with the papers, diving deeper into how a historical paper is written and I will be working with them individually to give them guidance going forward.
Math: This week in math, the 5th graders crushed their ERB tests. I’m so proud of them! They were confident, careful, and proud. Next week, we’re going to spend some more time reviewing concepts that we need to hone in on before 6th grade, and even do a small project or two to help us practice and apply all of the skills we’ve learned this year!
