Dear Parents and Students of Grade 5

We have completed unit on Planetary Motion and Time. To date: We are starting a new unit on Earth Studies
 * Students should have an understanding of the relationships to days, months, and years to planetary motion of the Earth in regards to is revolution and rotation.
 * From Claim Evidence and Reasoning exercises, students should be able to explain the relationship between the tilt of the Earth's axis and it's revolution to seasonal changes.
 * We will be learning
 * Rock Properties
 * Three rock families that make up the Rock Cycle
 * Structure of Earth
 * Erosion

in preparation for the Science MCAS later this year.

Feel free to contact me a pthomas2@bostonpublicschools.org if you have any questions. Please identify your child using first and last name as well as classroom so I can reference parent primary language in my records if I need to do translations to assist you.

Please complete the form so I can better gauge the effectiveness of my online Science Newsletters and the use of the Student Information System to share grades with parents. I will be using this information to make improvements to next year.

I hope to hear from you.

Patrick M Thomas.
