WHAT’S HAPPENING!
FIFTH-GRADE


ELECTRONIC DEVICES - Students are NOT ALLOWED to bring electronic games and portable music players to school unless it is being used as part of the instructional process. Items taken away by an administrator or playground supervisor will not be recovered by a teacher... it will be the full responsibility of the student. We have no objections to students having cell phones on campus as long as the student takes full responsibility for the security of the item and the phone does not interrupt or interfere with the instructional process.

Fifth-Grade students will be presented with a number of poems and other writings that they are expected to memorize and be able to recite, such as this one:


There was an old owl who lived in an oak;
The more he heard, the less he spoke.
The less he spoke, the more he heard...
Why aren’t we like that wise old bird!

Located on the top is a right triangle. ALL triangles have a total of 180 degrees within their borders. The small box in the lower-left hand corner of the triangle indicates that the given angle is a right angle, which is 90 degrees. The missing angle can be determined by adding the two known angles (90º and 35º), then subtracting the sum from 180º. On the bottom is a quadrilateral, which is a four-sided polygon. Other quadrilaterals include rectangles, trapezoids, squares, parallelograms, and others. ALL quadrilaterals have a total of 360 degrees within their borders. To find the missing angle in this quadrilateral, simply add the three known angles (141º, 79º, and 55º), then subtract the sum from 360º.
