I am SO excited to have a full 5-day week- we will be BUSY! :)
What to expect this week in 5th grade:
Math- Our fractions test will be on Wednesday, 1/29. We will review in class on Mon. and Tue. Students can study using the online textbook, homework sheets in binder, and math notebook. On Thursday we will begin our unit on measurement! Review assignment #3 is due Friday. I forgot to hand this out last Friday, so they will be getting it on Monday. It is the student's responsibility to bring me any assignments they have fixed or needed signed!
Science- We will be busy this week finishing our animal Power Point presentations. Also, we have our plants and animals test on Friday, 1/31. Study guides are in binders. Students can study using their notebooks! I will put up Quizlet flashcards on the blog this week! We will review in class on Wed. PRISM check #4 is this Friday. Students must have their data chart and graph completed. In the meantime, students can also be working on their PRISM boards. There is an example in the Science link (at top of blog). I am SO excited to see the finished products! :)
Reading- With a full 5-day week ahead of us, I am looking forward to consistently meeting with small, guided reading groups! We will be reading/discussing articles from our StoryWorks magazine. Literature circles will meet on Thursday. Students should have their reading assignment completed along with their 3 THICK questions and 2 comments (replies to other student questions) on edmodo.com. I encourage you to talk to your student about their historical fiction book they are reading- we've got some AWESOME books we are reading that could spark conversations about different time periods!
Writing- We will continue our study of memoirs by writing small about big topics, reading literature for inspiration, choosing a seed idea, adding depth to our writing, and planning structures.
