Happy Fall!!!!

Fall has come so quickly!!





We have finished our geography unit  for now but we will revisit some of the skills and vocabulary learned throughout the school year.





This week we will be studying and classifying different cultures. Obviously we are learning about our own American culture, but to take us into the study of early explorations of North America we are learning about the cultures of West Africa, England, France, and Spain.Then, we will begin our unit on Early Explorations.

In addition to class, we will be researching Daniel Boone. All 5th grade students will be writing an informational article about Boone. I will be looking for strong evidence of research, organization and appropriate text features for an article. This article will be due on October 26th, the day before we travel to Frankfort to visit Boone's gravesite as well as the Old Capital and current Capital building.



YES!! We are going on a field trip to Frankfort, KY onThursday, October 27th!!Permission slips and information will be coming home this week!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a very special trip that involves us leaving before school starts and returning after school has dismissed.
We take 5th grade on this trip every year. All students will learn about our state government and how it works as well as learning about the history of our state capital.
