Thank you, thank you for all the WONDERFUL treats and gifts from Valentine's Day- I really am the luckiest teacher! I hope everyone enjoyed their 4-day weekend!

Here's what to expect this week in 5th grade-

Science- We will be wrapping up our study on matter with a focus on differentiating between physical and chemical changes.

Math- This week we will be dividing unit fractions and whole numbers, problem solving by drawing diagrams and reviewing. Our multiplying and dividing fractions ch. 10 test will be next Tuesday.

We have already begun the work of investigating to understand an argument within our reading lessons in the past 2 weeks. This week we will continue to research both sides of an issue, take a stance and flash draft our own argument text, and use evidence and quotes to build our arguments further.

Social Studies- We are studying the Industrial Revolution, focusing on the benefits and costs of industrialization.
