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? Students will brainstorm, plan, and work on implementing their ideas this week. I couldn’t be prouder of our journalists as we wrapped up our journalism mini-unit by creating our very own classroom digital newspaper! Check it out HERE!
We will continue to discuss our BIG question as we begin a NEW unit on argument and advocacy. We will be evaluating claims, reasons, and evidence that are presented in argument texts about debatable issues. Over the course of this unit, students will write a research-based opinion essay.
STEAM: We will be working through the second half of chapter 9. Students will practice problem-solving by determining reasonable answers, estimating sums and differences, adding and subtracting mixed numbers, and subtracting with renaming.
In science, we are continuing the “Our Place in the Universe” unit. This week we will→
- Observe and record changes in shadows during the day and use the data to understand that the sun’s apparent position in the sky is caused by Earth’s rotation on its axis and revolution around the sun.
- Describe the pattern of the moon over a month’s time.
