This Week in Room 33! Oct. 22-26

What to expect this week in 5th grade:

Morning Work- Student will be working on DLR this week. There will be a DLR quiz on Friday morning. Students can study their DLR sheet to prepare (located in their binders). Students are also on a schedule in which every morning there are 5 students who are able to go on our new Kid Blog and type in a post and comment on other posts.

Math- We are continuing to work on Unit 4 on dividing. Our class is doing a FANTASTIC job on xtramath.org. 80% of our class has reached an 80% or higher on their multiplication facts! Wow! In fact, we have 4 students who have mastered multiplication and are working on division and 1 student who has mastered both multiplication and division facts! I am meeting with students who need the extra practice with mutliplication this week- please help your child practice these facts- it is crucial to know them for our upcoming units in math!

Social Studies- We are completing Chapter 3 this week. Our study guide is due Thursday and our test is on Friday.

Reading- This week our focus is on sequencing and summarizing. We will also be completing our book exit slips with a focus on writing a book summary. Guided reading groups are also continuing this week. Cold Read is due Friday.







Writing- We completed our 1st writing pieces last week. They did a wonderful job on these!!! They are displayed outside our room waiting for you to check them out when you come in for conferences next week! :) We are beginning our next unit of writing on personal narratives this week.



Reminders:

  • Conferences are next week (Monday Oct. 29th and Thurs. Nov. 1st). If you have not returned the conference sheet I sent home last week please return it this week!
  • Please make sure your student has turned in the Pumpkin Run permission slip for next Wed.'s Fall Festival.
  • Please be sure to send in Halloween party items (see email from Mrs. Long).
  • No School: November 5th and 6th
Hope you are staying dry!!! Have a great week!
