This week in 5th grade...

Science: We will spend time this week asking the question, why do the stars change with the seasons? Students will create a model to help them visualize these concepts.

Math: This week in math, we are working on estimating quotients, dividing decimals with whole numbers, dividing decimals, and dividing decimals by powers of 10. Our chapter 6 tests on multiplying and dividing decimals will be on Tuesday, Dec. 5th.

Writing: This week students are continuing to revise, edit, and publish their 2nd research report. We will be celebrating our finished work on Friday! Portfolios will go home Friday. and will be due next Wednesday!

Reading: We are excited to start a new unit on social issues within book clubs! We will be reading through the lens of identifying and interpreting the author's and our own view on social issues. We will learn that reading for social issues can help you better understand and empathize with people in books, movies, and the world!

Social Studies: Lawyer teams will begin to debate on different law cases. We will use the Bill of Rights to help us determine what is wrong and what is right. Lawyers must use legal reasons to back up their decisions, rather than just their opinions.
