Science- This week we are discussing tools that scientists use and participating in activities where students will classify, compare, contrast, and think like scientists!
Writing- We are continuing to build our writing stamina and completing our writer's notebook training! Ask your student why writer's use notebooks and what they have been writing about.
Math- We will be learning all about our new math textbook and online component called ALEKS. We will begin chapter 1 on place value while participating in our math stations and small group instruction.
Reading- In reading, we are continuing to build our stamina of reading to self (we are up to 30 minutes!) and making sure we are reading good fit books using the I-PICK method (ask your student to sing the song!) We are continuing to discuss what real reading looks and feels like and how reading is THINKING! We will also discuss genres, how we will keep a record of our reading, and how we will track our thinking.
Social Studies- We will start social studies this week by studying geography, landforms, maps, and resources!
***Curriculum Night- We hope to see you all this Thursday from 7-7:30! We are looking forward to sharing with you about how our classroom works and what your student will experience this year in 5th grade!
-Mrs. Schaefer, Mrs. Smith, and Ms. Ballard
