What to expect this week in 5th grade:
Morning Work- We will be working on DLR this week for morning work. We will have our DLR quiz on Friday morning. The DLR sheet is kept in your student's binder. You may want to review this with your student to help prepare for the quiz.
Math- We are continuing to work on Unit 3 on multiplication. Please check how your student is doing with basic fact recall. Use flashcards and see how fast your child can give you the product. Try the following website at home: Math Magician. Knowing our basic multiplication facts is essential to success in math this year!
Social Studies- Tomorrow is our last work day in class for our Native American tribe project. The model and Power Point are due on Wed. The models will be displayed in the library. Please make sure your child includes his/her name on the model that can be easily viewed. Students will present their Power Points for the remainder of the week.
Reading- We are continuing to be independent readers and learners in our daily 5 work sessions! Guided reading groups are continuing this week and our focus is on determining importance by finding the main idea and supporting details.
Writing- We are working on revising our pieces to make them interesting and exciting for the reader. We are working on substituting overused words with more interesting words.Ask your child about their piece that they will be publishing.
*Wednesday will be our September Home Run Club (all of our students will be participating!) Students may bring in an extra snack for this reward.
Enjoy your week!
