What to expect this week in 5th grade:
Math- We are finishing up our unit on ratios, percents, and probability and also diving into volume and nets! There will not be a test on this unit. Continue to check in with your student on their weekly review assignments. #7 is due Friday. I expect all review assignments in the 70's or below to be fixed and returned.
Social Studies- We are working on a video project in class where students are re-enacting events leading up to the American Revolution. Students may bring in props Thursday (no toy weapons are allowed). We will upload these videos to our Youtube channel for parents to view! :)
Reading- We will be reviewing story elements this week. Literature circles are moving to edmodo! Edmodo is a website (and app!) where students will be posting questions and commenting on other posts within their literature groups. Lit. circles will now be meeting on Tuesdays and Fridays each week. Their reading and edmodo posts should be completed by every Tue. and Fri.
Writing- This week we will be organizing our research notes and beginning to write our expository drafts!
Words contracts are due this Friday. Spelling tests are also on Friday.
PRISM is Thursday!
Character Assembly is this Friday- All students in our class have earned a grand slam! Please bring a baseball cap to wear at school on Friday! :)
Science Center Field Trip is Next Wed! If you would like to chaperone please let me know!
Have a wonderful week!
