Dear Fifth Grade Parents,

            Well September has surely flown by!  We are now well into our school year, and the students have adjusted nicely to the class rules and routines. In math, students have been introduced to decimals and will continue to work with them for the next few weeks.  In science, we have been discussing matter, a topic that will remain with us into our next two chapters.  The biggest adjustment has been the use of chromebooks and homework online.  Please continue to reach out if you have any questions or issues.  It's a learning curve for sure, but soon the students will be experts!
