This (Short) Week in Room 33! Nov. 19-20

What to expect this week in 5th grade:

Morning Work- Students will get a chance to work on their Time for Kids article that is due Tuesday (this was given to students Friday during centers). Students will also have a "Turkey" packet with fun holiday-themed activities they may choose to work on.

Math- Today we will be reviewing for our Unit 4 test tomorrow. Please study homework sheets! Unit 4 covers chapters 9-12 and is on dividing by 1- and 2-digit divisors, dividing decimals by whole numbers, and using multiplication and division in algebra.

Social Studies- We will be continuing our study on chapter 4.

Reading- We will continue with our "daily 5" independent activities and guided reading small groups. Please check in with your student to be sure they are reading at home- especially over Thanksgiving break! :)

Writing- We will be working on conferring with each other on our personal narrative drafts and begin editing for spelling, punctuation, and grammar.

THANK YOU!!! Thank you for bringing in all the items for Adopt-a-Family! So far we have brought in 275 items- WOW! Our chain is almost around the room! :)


Thanksgiving Break- Enjoy your time with family, friends, and food! I am so very thankful to be your child's teacher and couldn't be prouder of their accomplishments so far this school year! Happy Thanksgiving!

-Mrs. Schaefer
