***Reminder- I am looking forward to our student-led conferences this Tuesday and Thursday. Please see the following link to confirm your time slot! January Student-Led Conferences
What to expect this week in 5th grade…
ELA: Within our book clubs, students are spending time trying to answer this big question→ How can we become informed and bring awareness to social issues around us? We are analyzing the way different authors address and craft similar social issues in both literature and current events. Some book club discussion questions we are asking and exploring include:
- Who has power? Who is powerless? Why?
- How is power maintained? Who maintains it?
- Whose voice is heard? Whose is missing?
- Whose values are included? Whose values seem excluded?
This week we will also be working on drafting, revising/editing, and publishing our class newspaper for our journalism unit in writing. We can’t wait to share the finished product with you!
STEAM: We will be beginning Chapter 9: Adding and Subtracting Fractions. We will be learning about rounding fractions, and adding/subtracting like and unlike fractions. In our science lessons, we are asking the question, “How does Earth’s motion cause day, night, and the seasons?” as well as, “How does the appearance of the sun’s path change over time?”
