What to expect this week in 5th grade:
Morning Work- As your student arrives this week, we will be completing our DLR (Daily Language Review). This will be gone over every day to ensure that students will be ready for the DLR quiz given on Friday morning. This can be reviewed and studied at home as well. It is kept in your child's binder in front of the tabs.
Math- Monday and Tuesday we will be reviewing Unit 1 on whole numbers and decimals. Our unit test will be on Wednesday. To help your student prepare for this test you can review all the homework sheets that have been kept in our binders. This is a fantastic way to study for the test. The textbook at home can be used as a study aid as well. The remainder of the week will be focused on beginning Unit 2 on data and graphing.
Social Studies- This week we will be discussing Chapter 2: The First Americans. Students will complete various main idea/detail webs and other graphic organizers in their notebooks pertaining to each lesson's topics.
Reading- We will continue to reinforce our Read to Self and Work on Writing daily independent activities (the Daily Five). The third "daily" entitled Word Work will be introduced later in the week. Students will receive their first word list and learn the routines and expectations for our spelling contract.
Writing- We will continue our study on getting ideas for our writing by looking at poems and reading nonfiction texts. Students will learn and practice pair conferencing.
eValuate- Students will be given their first eValuate assessment this week for reading and math. This is the new Tungsten test and will be given monthly.
Early Release is Wednesday- Please make sure your student knows how to get home.
