5. States and Capitals
5th graders are responsible for learning the 50 states and capitals. We break them into four sets, one each nine weeks, to make it easier.
Students should study states and capitals for minutes a few times a week.
They have resources in Google Classroom and their INB to help.

6. Google Classroom
Most work, unit materials, and extra study resources can be found in Google Classroom.
Go to: classroom.google.com

7. Homework
Your child will not receive regular nightly homework in my class.
Any homework will be in the form of projects, test reviews, and classwork they did not finish.
However, they should be studying the states and capitals at home a few times a week.
Tutoring
I offer tutoring any morning other than Wednesday at 7:20.
Your child is responsible for signing up for tutoring and getting a pass.
Tutoring is offered Monday and Wednesday mornings with Mr. Kelley and Thursday and Friday with Ms. Seagroves.
