This Week in Room 33! 2/10-14

What to expect this week in 5th grade:

Math- We are working on our measurement unit and will focus on elapsed time, temperature, finding the perimeter of polygons, and finding the unknown side of a figure. Review assignment #5 is due Friday.

Science- PRISM boards are due Friday! If your student's board is done early, they are more than welcome to bring them in before Friday! We will continue with our new unit on space.

Reading- We will focus on the strategy of close reading. This is a fantastic strategy for reading complex texts and will allow us to dig deeper into our understanding of a text. Literature circles are on Thursday. Ask your student to see their edmodo account and see how they are doing with their questions and comments!

Writing- We will be revising and editing our first memoir this week and begin thinking about writing our 2nd! Our spelling test and words contract due date is this Friday. If students are ready, they may take their spelling test on Thursday.

  • Wed. is early release!

  • PRISM due Fri.
  • 2/17 President's Day- No School
