Check out the above video we will be watching in class called the "Power of Yet". As we focus on a growth mindset, it is important to remember that the only way we achieve our goals is through hard work and perseverance! We can do it!
The following is a BIG question we are exploring, discussing, and trying to answer in 5th grade. Encourage your student to continue the discussion with YOU at home!
How can we celebrate diversity and welcome refugees & immigrants into our community?
Reminder: Wed. is Picture Day & Be There Day!
This week in 5th grade…
STEAM: We are completing our end of multiplication real world project→ our “Resort Report”! Check out your student’s work in the Google Classroom and their STEAM notebook! We will also begin our study of division this week! We will relate division to multiplication through fact families, divide with and without remainders, and notice division patterns with powers of 10. Keep practicing those math facts at home- it makes a WORLD of a difference when students know their facts quickly! Students can practice using Xtramath (through Clever), Math Magician, and/or Quicktables in ALEKS.
We are also working within our “From Sun to Food” science unit. We will continue the discussion on photosynthesis, food chains, decomposition, and looking at an energy diagram. Ask to see your student’s science journal in the Google Classroom to see what they’ve been working on!
ELA:
This week we will continue drafting our 2nd literary essay by working on/revising our introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions before we edit and publish by Friday! We will upload our essays to our Google site writing portfolios and celebrate with all of 5th grade! Students will be responsible for completing a self-evaluation checklist, and will share and celebrate with YOU next week. Book clubs are in full swing as we are debating to prompt rich conversation, reflecting on ourselves as book club contributors, and comparing themes across texts.
