This Week in Room 33! Feb. 4-8

What to expect this week in 5th grade:

Math- We finished our unit today. Tue. and Wed. will be review days and Thurs. will be our unit test on measurement. This test covers chapters 24-26 (only the lessons that we have homework sheets on). Our review assignment #5 is due Friday.

Social Studies- We are beginning chapter 7 on the causes of the American Revolution!

Reading- Our focus this week is on poetry. We will be reading and listening to poems and discussing how we infer and visualize to help us understand them. Students may bring in their favorite poems to share this week! The cold read "The Castle Builder" is due Friday (this is being handed out today).

Writing- We will be researching and taking notes on our nonfiction topics this week!

Counselor's Week- This week is counselor's week. If your student would like to create a special card for our counselors, they would LOVE it!

Valentine's Day Party- This year there will not be an organized Valentine's party by the parents. I still plan on celebrating  in our classroom with some activities and treats. If you would like to donate any food/drink items to our class please email me with what you would like to send in with your student. I am in need of candy hearts (with the fun sayings!) for a specific activity. Thank you SO much! :) 

*Students can also bring in valentines. I will send home a class list so your student can be sure to include ALL students in our class!

Family Trivia Night- Trivia night is this Friday. Flyers went home last week. Sounds like fun! :)

Supplies- Please ask your student if he/she is running out of any supplies. We seem to be low on glue sticks!

Enjoy your week!
