Here is what to expect this week in 5th grade:
Math- We are continuing our study of Unit 1: Using Whole Numbers and Decimals. Please make sure we are practicing our multiplication and division facts at home. We will begin using a website called Xtra Math (xtramath.org) in class to show what we know and practice our facts!
Social Studies- We will finish Chapter 1: America's Land on Monday. The chapter test will be on Friday, August 31st. We will complete a study guide and review in class. This week we will also be working on our Free Enterprise Project. Students will give their presentations on Tuesday, September 4th. Students will have class time to complete this but may also work on it at home. Students have the option of video taping their presentation at home and showing the video in class.
Reading- We are continuing to build our stamina and independence with our Daily 5 Read to Self and will begin Work on Writing. This week we will add more strategies to our CAFE board (I will add pictures this week to our blog and Facebook).
Writing- We are continuing to build a community of writers. We will read books by Patricia Polacco and use these as examples of good writing. We will continue to get ideas for writing and practice prewriting techniques.
Please join me this Thursday, August 30th from 6:30-7 for Curriculum Night! Looking forward to seeing you there!
