This Week in Room 33! Oct. 29-Nov. 2

What to expect this week in 5th grade:

Morning Work- Students will get time in the morning to work on their words contract (due Fri. Nov. 9th). Students will also have a day to post on our kidblog website and read/comment on other student posts.

Math- We are continuing our work on division and will be starting to divide decimals. I could not be prouder of our mathematicians! We have been working so hard during our math workshop. Once  a week we are able to use the laptop cart. Below is a picture of our class working on double digit division  last week on the Study Jams website.


Social Studies- We will begin Chapter 4: European Settlements and practice the reading strategy of summarizing. We will also discuss the upcoming presidential election.

Reading- We will begin literature circles this week. Students will choose a book within groups and will begin to read and learn expectations and procedures. I am so excited for students to begin to read, discuss, and share novels together! The cold read "The Tower" is due Friday. Please make sure your students is using RAP for the response questions- we are getting MUCH better at this! :)

Writing- We will continue to explore personal narratives and drafting our own.


Fall Festival- Wednesday will be a busy and exciting day! We will have our Drug Free assembly in the morning. The Pumpkin Run is scheduled from 11:15-11:35 for 5th grade. The Halloween parade is from 1:40-2 and our Halloween party will be from 2-3!

Home Run Club- Our October home run club will be Thursday.


I am looking forward to meeting with you all at conferences this week! See you on Monday or Thursday! :)
