Lynchsters Mr. Lynch's 5th Grade Class 

We have a tad over two weeks left in the school year. We’ll still be going strong on the academics for the next two weeks – ain’t no letting up in my class!

We started Unit 9 in math last week – Algebraic Connections. This is the final math unit of the year. Students also took the Space Systems test in science on Friday.

Upcoming Events

Grade 5 Field Day – Wednesday, June 13

Step Up Day – Monday, June 18

End-of-the-Year Picnic – Monday, June 18

Last Day of School – Tuesday, June 19 (w/six snow days)

 

I hope that everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend. We have three Mondays left in your child’s fifth grade journey.

The Unit 8 Math Test (Geometry) will take place on Thursday. I will hold my usual extra, optional review session before school on Thursday at 7:30 AM. We will review the day before as well.

We’re down to the final four-ish weeks of the school year. This week is not too crazy, but after this we will have things going on almost every week. A list of many events is listed below, and I will try to keep this updated as new things come up.

On Friday I took a group of students from this class to the Junior Achievement Partners In Achievement Breakfast at the Hartford Marriott. They served as ambassadors for the event. In addition, since Junior Achievement is celebrating their 100th anniversary next year, CPTV was filming the event for a future documentary, and they got a lot of footage of students greeting the 640 people who attended the event.

On Friday we are going to the Nathan Hale Homestead in Coventry. Students should bring a lunch and drink. Lunches can be packed in regular lunch bags – they don’t need to be disposable. They won’t be carrying them around much at all and there’s a place to store them.

Upcoming Events

Last week students started the Smarter Balanced (SBAC) assessments, taking ELA and the Science field test (which means they were testing the test for science). Our days for this week are Monday and Tuesday for math, and then students are done unless they need to take a make-up test.
