Probability!

FYI- Tonight is Lindbergh's last home basketball game at 7- would love to see some students there! See you tomorrow for our science center field trip! 

This Week in Room 33! 2/24-2/28

I am so sorry this update is a little late- we have been BUSY, BUSY! :)

What to expect this week in 5th grade:

Math- We are working on ratios, proportions, comparing fractions, decimals, %s, and probability. Assignment #7 is due Friday.

Concord's learning strategy for this week pertains to math! Check it out:

Science- We are continuing our study of space, specifically the inner and outer planets! Ask your student if they can name the planets in order. Can they give you characteristics of each planet?

Reading- We are focusing on a multitude of reading strategies and skills including main idea, compare/contrast, cause/effect, and problem/solution. We are busy working in guided reading groups, independent activities, and literature circles. Their Edmodo questions/comments for their lit. circles are due Thursday. Please engage your student in a conversation about their books!

Writing- We are busy revising, editing, and publishing our 2nd memoir! We will celebrate our memoirs on Friday!

Other Reminders:
Middle school forms due this Friday 2/28!
Please turn in conference sheets as soon as possible!
Fri. 2/28- field trip to the science center! Please email me if you are interested in chaperoning.

Happy Valentine's Day!

This Week in Room 33! 2/18-21

What to expect this week in 5th grade:

Math- We are finishing up our unit on measurement! We will be reviewing Wed. and Thurs. and our test will be on Friday. Students can study using the online textbook, their textbook at home, and homework sheets in binder! Students should be able to complete measurement conversions, add and subtract measurements, find the elapsed time, and find the perimeter and area of polygons.

Science- WOW! I am SO proud of everyone's PRISM projects! PRISM night is this Thursday. Be sure to come and check out everyone's hard work! We will be working on our space unit in class- specifically, the phases of the moon.

Reading- We will be focused on using close reading strategies and using context clues and word parts to understand vocabulary. As a reminder, students should be reading at least 20 minutes every night! I find this picture to be very powerful in showing us why it is so important to be reading each and every night! Literature circle questions/comments on edmodo are due Thursday.

Writing- We will be flash drafting our 2nd memoir and revising this week! Ask your student what they are writing about in this memoir AND how are they structuring it?
