What’s happening in…
Reading:  Students are beginning to learn about informational texts.   
Writing: Students have chosen their Native American region and begun researching for their informational writing project.  
Math: We are beginning Unit 4, focusing on multiplication concepts.
SS: We have begun our unit on Three Worlds Meet, Europe, North America, and Africa.   

Computers
Study Island is a great resource for students to review material for a test at home.  The question format will continue to give additional practice for the M-STEP test, and the content will prepare them for the unit test. In order to find the website, your child will need to first log into www.clever.com.  They just need their school e-mail and school password. Their e-mail is their username@hpsstudents.net. Their password is whatever they use to log onto the computers at school. They can then get to Study Island from that website. Students should know where to go from there.  However, if they forget, have them click on MI Programs, 5th grade.
