Here's what to expect this week in 5th grade-
Science- We are continuing our unit on Earth and Space. We will be wrapping up our study on the inner and outer planets with a mini-research project students will work on during stations starting later this week. We will also continue working on our class PRISM project.
*Reminder- For those who are working on PRISM, projects are due Tue., Feb. 17th!

Writing- We will be busy this week revising, adding metaphors to convey our big ideas, and editing our memoirs by varying our sentences. We will be publishing on the Google drive and celebrating next Wednesday!
Math- Our chapter 9 test is tomorrow (Tuesday) on adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers. On Wednesday, we will start our next chapter on multiplying and dividing fractions!
Reading- We are continuing to learn more about reading historical fiction through our read aloud of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and within our literature circle groups. In order to participate in literature circle discussions and activities, students must have their assigned reading complete. We will also begin a new reading unit on test preparation. We are also continuing to stress the importance of reading to self without any distractions! Independent reading is SO important and a fantastic opportunity for students to apply what they are learning in lessons to their own reading.
Social Studies- We are studying the Spanish conquistadors and New Spain.
