Weekly News: Week 33

It's hard to believe that Week 33 of the school year has ended! Where has the time gone?

On Monday, students took the 6th Grade Math Placement test. It can be a very stressful day for our fifth graders but they all tried their absolute best and I was very proud of their dedication. Information regarding the Placement test timeline can be found HERE.

In Writer's Workshop we began our last writing unit... Memoirs. It's a wonderful way to end 5th grade and their elementary school careers by thinking about themselves and what makes them unique.

I've really been enjoying the conversations we've been having as we dive deeper into our Memoir Unit. Check out your student's Google Classroom account to see more of what they've been writing.


We are nearing the end of our Revolutionary War unit in Social Studies. We've looked at the battles, studied the roles that women played in the cause, and studied a few of the major battles. Without France's help we might still be with Great Britain! The Unit 6 Social Studies test will be on Tuesday, May 9th.


Next week Mohr School will be raising money for the Wheelchair Foundation. More information will be posted next week.

One last thing... today's Friday Folder includes a permission slip for 5th grade's Human Growth Unit. Please read the letter carefully and return it by Tuesday, May 23rd. The Unit will be taught on Thursday, May 25th and Friday, May 26th. The Parent Preview will be on Monday, May 22nd.
