T5W3 - Weekly Update

Unit of Inquiry:  How the World Works 
Central Idea: Changes occur in our world that are within and outside of our control

Homework, Volume L-Shape (decomposing shapes), Spelling City (Ask your child to log in so they can show you how they did last week.)

Math - We are continuing to learn about volume.  Students will be taking the mid-module on Wednesday.

Hawk Hollow - Field Trip Correction
Our field trip to Hawk Hollow is on WEDNESDAY, not today.  My apologies to the parents who I startled on Sunday evening.  

We would like to invite you to participate in F.AVE's parent survey.  This survey consists of 24 questions and parents may complete the survey using their personal computer, smartphones or tablet.  If you do not have access to the internet, you can complete the Georgia Parent Survey at F.AVE.  All parents are encouraged to participate in the Georgia Parent Survey because the data will be used as part of the calculation of the School Climate Star Rating. Survey responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis.  The URL address for the Georgia Parent Survey is posted below.
