Science: Complete vocabulary drawings
Study for the Lesson 2 quiz using the book, the study guide, the science packet, and the
vocabulary booklet. This quiz will use the same format as quiz 1.
On Monday, Mr. Nelson, our new superintendent, came to speak to the entire 5th grade class about beekeeping. Mr. Nelson received his doctorate on the subject and pursues it actively as a hobby.

**Attention Parents/Guardians**
I am looking for two parent chaperons to attend our field trip on October 16th to the Science Center in Des Moines. It will be an all day commitment. Please contact me ASAP if interested!
Homework:
Math: P1-5 (evens)
Science: None
Next Week:
Math: Monday we will be reviewing for a quiz over lessons 1-1 through 1-6 and then quizzing on
Tuesday. Please help your student study by looking at worksheets from the 6 lessons and the
mini-quiz from last week. Focus on place values from hundred millions to thousandths, comparing
and ordering numbers, place value patterns, and solving problems (break information into two
categories, "What do I know?" and "What am I trying to solve?". We will then move into adding
and subtracting mentally as well as rounding whole and decimal numbers!
Science: Monday we will be experimenting using the microslide viewers! Your student will be looking at
voluntary muscle cells, smooth muscle cells, and heart muscle cells. Lesson 2 focuses on body systems including the following: circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and excretory! Hopefully
we will be ready to quiz on this lesson by Friday!!
As usual, please contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or information that will help me better serve your child! Have a wonderful weekend!!

Homework:
Math: review p. 19 (ordering decimal numbers)
Science: drawings completed through diffusion and osmosis
Next Week
Math: We will take a mini-quiz on place values from hundred billions to thousandths, comparing and
ordering large and decimal numbers, standard form, word form, and written form on Monday.
The rest of the week will be spent on place value patterns and problem solving strategies. I hope
to prep for the quiz Thursday and quiz Friday!
Science: We will conduct our second experiment which deals with cells and tissues of animals. The
students will get another opportunity to use the microslides and microscopes to observe cells.
Lesson two will then discuss multiple human body systems including circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and excretory.
Ask your student about the cell rap!!! Cells, cells, they're made of organelles!!!
