Dear Parents,
Happy New Year and Welcome Back !
In Grade 5 this week we have thought about personal, and academic goals for 2017.
In Literacy we have begun a new novel – ‘Tuck Everlasting’ by Natalie Babbitt. This is a beautifully written book that my students usually really enjoy. We have some good discussions from this novel.
In grammar the students have been reviewing verb tenses.
Our Social Studies unit is ‘The Natural Environment’ – we explored some natural vegetation and fragile environments in Cayman.
Next Friday we will complete our lesson at Smith Cove and do a beach clean up. We will only be there about 45 minutes. Ms Sharon and myself are driving, I would love if one more person could join us.
Here are two questions you could ask your child over the weekend –
1. What are the 3 types of Mangroves in Cayman? Why are they important to our Island ?
2. What happened so far in Tuck Everlasting ?.
