Hi 5th graders & families,

Because of various school events, our previous science schedule has changed. Please see our new schedule below. 

The Respiratory System will be the last animal system we're studying in 5th grade. I will add an updated calendar for the rest of the month of June.

Please be sure to check Tuesday night's homework, click here.

Animal Systems Unit- Introduction

Hi 5th graders & families!

This week we will being the Animal Systems portion of our Life Science study. There are four systems that we will be investigating during this unit- the Circulatory System, Digestive System, Excretory System and Respiratory System. Our Essential Question for this part of our Life Science Unit is - "How do animal systems work?" Below is our tentative calendar with quiz and test dates. Please take note of these in your homework journal.

We are going to investigate the Digestive System through two activities - "The Great Saltine Challenge" and "Digestion in a Bag". Each student is asked to bring in a supply for these activities,  please see the supply list below. Your donations are greatly appreciated. Please bring your item to school no later than Friday, May 10th. Thank you in advance!
