This Week in Room 33! Jan. 20-23

I hope everyone enjoyed their 3-day weekend! Looking forward to seeing everyone! Here's what to expect this week in 5th grade-

Science- We will be studying the inner and outer planets this week. Students will begin a mini-research project/presentation on a planet during stations. 

Writing- Students will be revising, editing, and celebrating their 1st memoir this week! Completed memoirs will be due Friday for our celebration. 

Math- Our chapter 8 "quiz" (since this is a shorter chapter we are calling it a quiz rather than a test) is on Tuesday. Our next chapter will be on adding and subtracting fractions. 

Reading- We will begin our historical fiction literature circles this week. We will also continue to study memoirs in addition to historical fiction by paying close attention to external and internal story lines and using thought prompts to better understand the characters.

Social Studies- We will finish up our study on Martin Luther King Jr. and continue to discuss and research our historical events of our literature circle books. 

Other Reminders-
1/27- Field Trip to Sheldon
1/30- Concord Family Trivia Night
