Welcome back! I hope everyone enjoyed their winter break and that you are all relaxed and ready for the 2nd half of 5th grade!
A BIG THANK YOU again for all the sweet and generous holiday gifts! :)
Here's what is going on this week-
Science- We are starting a new unit on Earth and Space (chapter 9)! Our first lesson focuses on how Earth moves.
Writing- Be on the lookout--- students will bring home their portfolios to share their memoirs with families! They are expected to self-evaluate their work using the checklist and complete the yellow sheet (parent signature). Thank you for taking the time to look over this with your child and having meaningful conversations about your child's "glows and grows" (your student should know what this means!) Portfolios will be due on Friday.
We are excited to begin a new opinion writing unit on literary essays!
Math- We are now in Volume 2 of our math series and starting chapter 8 on fractions and decimals. This week our focus is on relating fractions and division. Please practice those basic multiplication and division facts with your student- it is SO important to know them quickly in order to efficiently perform these new skills. Thank you for all your hard work at home! Check out Math Magician for extra practice.
Reading- We will be launching a new unit on fantasy book clubs!
Social Studies- We will spend this time this week reflecting and discussing new year resolutions and 3rd quarter goals! Next up, we will be studying the original 13 colonies.
