Check out the above video we have watched in class called the "Power of Yet". As we focus on a growth mindset and we track our own data in our goal setting section of our leader binder, it is important to remember that the only way we achieve our goals is through hard work and perseverance! We can do it!
This week in 5th grade...
Science- Scientific Investigations tests will go home on Tuesday! This week we will begin our next unit on weather. We will be tracking weather data in our notebooks each day using weather.com. We are also starting our first set of science stations for lesson 1 on the water cycle. We should be able to answer the question-- How does water move through the environment?
Writing- This week we are using the Google drive and Google classroom to publish our personal narratives. As we publish we will also focus on editing for the correct use of commas and other mechanics. We will celebrate our finished pieces on Friday!
Reading- As we wrap up our writing unit, we will also be wrapping up our reading unit on interpretation book clubs. This week we will compare characters' connections to a theme, study the choices an author did not make to better understand the ones they did, and delve deeper into literary analysis. We will celebrate our hard work and participation in book clubs on Friday as we share our most profound thoughts, ideas, and book suggestions! Book clubs will work hard to complete their 2nd book club book this week or into the following week. Check out the Reading tab for more information!
Math- Our chapter 2 test is on Tuesday. Later this week we will begin our study on division! We will relate division to multiplication through fact families and divide with and without remainders. Keep practicing those math facts at home- it makes a WORLD of a difference when students know their facts quickly!
Social Studies- We are studying the ancient Paleo-Indians and discussing other native american cultures. Within our stations we have been using the website mycapstonelibrary.com. Students have been choosing from the following books to read/listen to--
What did the Aztecs do for me?
Sitting Bull
American Indian Stories and Legends
Great Basin Indians
Pocahontas
Northwest Coast Indians
Southeast Indians
Northeast Indians
California Indians
Plateau Indians
