Science- We are continuing to study force and motion by working together to create Lego models of simple machines. Heads up- our ch. 11 test will be Wed., March 16th.
Writing- We are taking our arguments up a notch with more extensive research, including counterclaims and rebuttals, evaluating our evidence, and appealing to the audience. Our goal is to raise more awareness to our issues. We will publish and celebrate these pieces next week!
Math- Our chapter 11 test on measurement is on Wed. We will be working on our study guides in class on Monday and Tuesday. Students can use the following to study/practice measurement conversions:
- study guide
- textbook (pgs. 883-886 has review problems)
- old homework forms (Daily homework tab)
- Online Textbook (see Math tab)
Reading- This week we are beginning a test-preparation unit in reading. We will begin to discuss strategies that will help us with test-taking such as determining if a question is about the whole text or just a detail from the text, predicting answers before finding them, and being aware that test takers try to trick us by making all the answers SEEM correct! The BEST way to become better readers is by simply reading, thinking, and discussing- I love doing all these things with your 5th graders everyday!
Social Studies- We are continuing to discuss the 13 colonies and will begin creating Google slides to teach the class about each region.
