What to expect this week in 5th grade...
Science- We are wrapping up our study on Earth's spheres with a shared Google slides project:
Writing- We will finish up our 1st research report on our Westward Expansion topics. Check out the writing tab to see the writing checklists we use in class and to assess our work. We will celebrate our finished pieces on Tuesday!
Portfolios will go home and will be due Friday. Students are responsible for celebrating their published pieces with families, completing a self-evaluation checklist, setting goals for their next piece and getting a parent signature.
We are so excited to begin work on our 2nd research report! For this report, students will choose a historical event to research. Students will be working together within small teams as they research and discuss new learning and ideas about their historical event and it's impact on the world!
Math- Our chapter 5 test on adding and subtracting decimals is on Tuesday. Please see email sent last week for study materials and suggestions. Next up- multiplying and dividing decimals!
Reading- We are continuing our work on reading complex nonfiction, identifying main idea/supporting details and summarizing as we research our new historical topic.
Social Studies- Students are working in pairs to pass the "Constitutional Law Exam"! Students are working together to navigate a complex text (our Social Studies textbook), and answer questions on the branches of government, checks and balances, the amendment process, and the federal system.
