Welcome e bem-vindo!

Hello fifth grade students! I hope you are all having a fun-filled summer and spending tons of time in nature and at the beach. I am so excited to meet you all and I can’t wait to get our year started. I will be your science teacher this year. Fifth grade is a really fun year in school. It is hard work, but I think you will find that it feels really good to learn so much and to have more independence in school.

In science class this year, we will learn about everything from atoms, which are so tiny they are invisible, to space, which is so big it is difficult to even understand. We will start the year learning about physical science which includes matter, energy, and some scientific laws like the Law of Conservation of Energy. It sounds complicated, but I promise it is not!

See you soon – Ms. G
