Tonight's Math Video on Number Patterns

Here is tonight's video on number patterns! There is a problem you have to solve at the end. Bring your answer in to school tomorrow!

Publish writing

Yesterday we started to publish our narratives! Today some of us printed our stories and may be done. And the other half are still working and are will be done tomorrow. The narratives are due THURSDAY! Have a nice evening.

* A note from Mrs. Schaefer- We are using google drive to publish! Every student has a google account and is able to access their google drive from ANY computer/device with Internet access! Their account is 21firstlast@lindberghschools.ws (first name and last name). Their password is a 10 digit code that they have written in their planners. This also means students have access to gmail- they can email me with questions! :)

Here are some pictures from our anemometer investigation today!

Veteran's Day Spectacular

We had an awesome assembly this morning honoring our veterans. We got to listen to a 91 year old World War II veteran. He talked about his experiences in the coast guard on the coast of North Carolina. He talked about his friends and how he made a reunion for everyone in the coast guard. He was only 18 years old and had to have his parents sign!

Tonight's homework is to write a dedication page and about the author page in our google drive!

Please bring in $2 for our pizza party on Wednesday!

Reviewing for our division test!

One of our science classes was able to finally do our anemometer investigation because there was a wind speed of 14 mph! Hoping for another day of high wind speed so the other science class can do theirs soon! 

This Week in Room 33! Nov. 4-8

What to expect this week in 5th grade:

Math- We are finishing up our study of division! Our Unit 4 test will be on Thursday. Students can use homework sheets in binder, videos on blog, and the textbook to study!

Science- We are continuing our study of weather with a focus on the water cycle.

Reading- This week we are continuing to work on inferencing especially in poetry. We are also discussing different types of figurative language such as similes, metaphors, personification, and alliteration!

Writing- We are using a mentor narrative to help push our writing to the next level! We are working on stretching out the problem or tension, catching the action or image that produces emotion, giving each character a specific role, and using mentor sentences to study commas and other punctuation.

*This week marks the start of Adopt-a-Family! We have already brought in over 20 items and raised almost $30 today with Jingles for Jammies! Way to go! Continue to bring in items- it's all for a great cause and we have some competitive kiddos in our class that are striving to be the top class!
