This Week in Room 33! Dec. 9-13

This will be the last week to bring in any items for Helping Hands. 

What to expect this week in 5th grade…

ELA: We are continuing to work on our research report.  We are focusing on primary sources and citing sources within our reports.  Another important part of our writing process will be making sure to include our thinking by synthesizing across the texts we have read!  Research reports will be celebrated on Wednesday, December 18th before winter break.  

STEAM:  We will be reviewing chapter 5 and 6, multiplying and dividing with decimals, and having breakout sessions where students can move across the 5th grade classrooms to get more support or push their understanding.  We will also begin Chapter 7: Patterns and Expressions in math this week.  We will cover the topics of writing expressions and using the order of operations.  In science, be sure your ask your child how their data collection is going with tracking their water usage. Your child is working on an end of unit project where they are asked to track their water usage for a period of time. Between now and next Thursday (due Friday morning), they should choose 3 days to track their water usage and upload their data into their digital student notebook. They should also complete the reflection questions that follow this activity on the next page of their digital notebook. We will then use this data to develop a PSA to our Concord Flyer families about ways they can conserve water.
