Final+Letter+Of+Year+to+5th+Graders

Dear 5th Grader in Mrs. Preston's Class,

Mrs. Preston is a good teacher if you follow her rules. The most important of them all is DON'T CHEW GUM. There is what I call her "gum day". That when everybody can chew gum. You cannot chew any gum until' then if she catches you chewing any before then your classes "gum day" will be back up one day. Fact: We had that happen a lot this year.

Now to the learning: #1 Science: Mrs. Preston goes crazy with science. You get to make 3 projects a year. Study: The Earth's Layers. Proejct: make a model of the earth. It MUST include the interior, exterior and the contedints and oceans labeled. Study: Biomes. Project: You will be asignned groups to be in and will pick a **biome** (a habitat) to do you can pick from desert, grassland, tundra, tiaga, I forgot the last 2. You make a movie on plants and animals that live in you're biome. Study: Cells Project: Make a city for you're cells. That's it basically. Fact: On the biome project some of our groups still aren't done and we started in the 1st quarter and now it's 4 days until the end of school.

In math you learn about multipling and dividing decimals, fractions. You learn about ratios and percents.

In SS you learn about Latin America the carribean and the Mayas,Incas and Aztecs. If you are in CC you will have 4 projects: History Day, Carrabien Country, A Mayan's life and a group project on info on latin america.

That's all for now good luck in 5th grade.

See ya later, Nathan
