Mrs. Macoy's News
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to teach and love your child!
Math
Each class begins with a spiral review in math. We complete the problems in our math folders. These problems are designed to review skills that have already been covered as well as to introduce future skills. Homework is given in moderation each day to help expand upon what we have learned in class that day. This is listed on the board and on my website. I DO NOT GIVE HOMEWORK ON THE WEEKENDS! We have a weekly multiplication test that will get progressively more difficult throughout the year. We also have major tests on the objectives covered in class. We will have MANY hands-on activities this year that will require your child to work both individually and with a group. Organization skills are a big help in fifth grade!!!!!!!!
SCIENCE
We will do many hands-on activities supplemented with AMSTI materials to reach each of our learning objectives. We use experiments, videos, notebooking, and on going classroom discussions that will help us to learn and understand science! The science notebook will be a valuable source of information when preparing for tests! Typically, there will not be any written homework in science class this year.
If you have any questions or need to contact me, my door is always open. I look forward to a wonderful year with your child!
