Week 38 Update

5^th Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

Our last full, five-day week has come to an end and it has certainly been an interesting one.

Since we are learning about the Cold War in Social Studies, we decided that instead of doing an ordinary quiz, we would take the quiz that was planned and turn it into a Cold War Trivia Game instead. It was good to see the students becoming more aware of the tensions that exist during a war of that nature and also keeping their secrets safe while not being accused of being traitors. Ask your child to tell you more about Joseph McCarthy.
