The Week in Room 33! Sept. 16 - 20
What to expect this week in 5th grade:
Math- We are continuing our study on Unit 2: Data and Graphing. This will be a much shorter unit (only chapters 5 and 6). Our test will be Wed., Sept. 25. You may have noticed that I have added another page to my blog (pages are listed on top tabs). Math Homework posts are for students to complete at home in replacement of a math homework sheet. Students will know when they have this type of homework (may not be every night).
Science- This week we will prepare for our next investigation featuring paper airplanes! We will not have science on Tuesday due to the early release. Study guides will be handed out this week for their first test. This will be on the scientific method. Test date is to be determined- will let you know soon!
Reading- We are busy in reading practicing our daily 3 (read to self, work on writing, and word work!) Students are now allowed to choose when to complete each daily choice and are beginning to record their accomplishments on a weekly self-evaluation form. I am so proud of my independent readers!!! We will begin our guided reading groups this week and will focus on metacognition: thinking about our thinking and adding to our CAFE board!
Writing- We are continuing to work with writing personal narratives and will discuss writing inside a memory, using paragraphs to support elaboration, and will start to revise and edit our pieces! Students will need to write in their writer's notebooks for 10 min. Tue., Wed., and Thurs. nights as homework. I have encouraged students to set a timer and to make sure they are writing pen on paper for the full 10 minutes!
Word Study- Students will have their first word test (spelling) on Friday. Their words contract is also due on Friday. They have time to work on this during their daily choice of Word Work (can be done during morning work as well). If they need to, they can work on this at home to have it completed by Friday.
