I hope everyone enjoyed their 4-day, icy/rainy weekend! Looking forward to seeing everyone! Here's what to expect this week in 5th grade-
***Permission slips for our Sheldon Theater Jazz Story field trip on Feb. 7th is coming home today! Please return ASAP- Thank you!!!
***This week we are beginning our DARE program! Once a week, Officer Ryan will visit and teach students about drug and alcohol awareness. For more information, read below or visit http://www.dare.org.
D.A.R.E. envisions a world in which students everywhere are empowered to respect others and choose to lead lives free from violence, substance abuse, and other dangerous behaviors.
Launched in 1983, D.A.R.E. is a comprehensive K-12 education program taught in thousands of schools in America and 52 other countries. D.A.R.E. curricula address drugs, violence, bullying, internet safety, and other high risk circumstances that today are too often a part of students’ lives.
Science- We will be studying the inner and outer planets this week.
Math- We will learn how to utilize the ladder method to find the GCF, LCM, and lowest terms of 2 numbers, compare fractions, and write fractions as decimals and percents.
Writing- We are working hard in our literary essay unit as we reflect on our flash drafts from last week, set goals and work towards them as we begin our next bend in the unit. We will be working in small groups to study a short text, write to grow ideas, analyze how characters respond to troubles, and develop stronger thesis statements!
Reading- In our fantasy unit, we will be thinking metaphorically and learning real life lessons through our fantastical characters. Students can always find their book club assignments in the "Daily Homework" page OR the "Reading" page of this blog!
Social Studies- We will continue to dive into the 13 colonies with a focus on the New England, Middle and Southern colony regions.
