Math Fact Practice
By the end of 5th grade, students should know their multiplication and division math facts (1-12) backwards and forwards. Here's a link to help you practice those facts on-line. There's also a link here to print out a copy of 72 problems that you can test yourself on. Goal is to miss only 1 or 2 in less than 5 minutes.
Good Books for 5th Grade
A lot of times students and parents ask for a list of books that are suitable for their reading. Here is a list of 50 good books for 5th graders.
There is also a sheet here explaining how to pick a good book.
Cal - Wood Outdoor Education Center
One of the great things about 5th grade is that we all go up into the mountains for a night or two stay at Cal-Wood Outdoor Education Center.
This is something 5th graders really look forward to and remember long after they leave Eagle Crest.
