5th Grade Cyber Day Assignments
Every day that school is closed for Cyber Day your child will need to choose and complete one
activity from each subject area. Your child will need to choose a different activity from each
area each day. If there is only one activity listed, they will complete the same activity each day.
Your child will have a week to complete this work. (If you do not have electricity, I will add more
days for completion). Enjoy your Cyber Day! Please complete the paper parent list and send
back to school with any work the student completed on paper.
