Thank you SO much for all your trail mix donations- the kids had a FUN day and we really appreciated all the goodies! :) I hope everyone enjoyed their 3-day weekend thanks to President's Day! Here's what to expect this week in 5th grade-
Science- This week we will be working on our planet mini- research projects. These projects will be due next Tuesday, 2/24. We may start presentations early if some projects are completed beforehand. We will also finish our study on meteors, comets, and asteroids. We will have a short quiz sometime next week to end our space unit!
Writing- We are beginning our next unit on research-based argument essays! We will investigate to understand an argument, research both sides of an issue, flash draft, and use evidence to build our arguments further.
Math- Our chapter 10 test on multiplying and dividing fractions will be on Friday. We will be problem solving by drawing diagrams and reviewing past lessons to prepare. Students will work on the study guide in class.
Reading- We are continuing to hold in depth discussions on our reading of historical fiction and of various passages as we work on our test preparation unit. We are becoming alert test takers by predicting the answers and locating them in the text before looking at the answer choices, being aware that often times all the answers SEEM correct, and paying attention to and inferring about the characters by reading between the lines.
Social Studies- We are studying early explorers!
