Chain of Thankfulness 

Dear Families,

It is a great time of year to reflect on how lucky we are and think about what we are thankful for. On Tuesday, your child will bring home strips of construction paper for members of your family to fill out. We are creating a chain of thankfulness for our classroom and we would love for you to join us! 

Please write one thing you are thankful for on the strip of paper with your name on the back. This is not a required assignment, but more so a fun way to involve you in our classroom.
Thank you for your time and I hope to see some links come back soon!

What to expect this week in 5th grade...

ELA: This week we will be  studying the causes of the Civil War for our next writing unit. Students will spend each day on a different topic within the Civil War. We will use articles, videos, and books to cover each topic. The students will stop each day to reflect on the topic and write about it’s impact.  We are focusing on overcoming challenges of reading complex texts such as using context and morphology to figure out tricky vocabulary, determining main ideas/summarizing, noticing text structures, and monitoring our own reading. 

STEAM:  We are excited to begin multiplying decimals!  We will focus on multiplying decimals with models, multiplying decimals by whole numbers and decimals, as well as by the powers of 10.  In science, we will study the Earth’s systems and how they interact with each other.
