Here's what's happening this last week before Spring Break...
***Reminders---

Science- We will begin to review past concepts for our upcoming MAP test!
- study guide

- old homework forms (Google Classroom)
- Online Textbook (see Math tab)
I am SO proud of students who are continually working on their independent ALEKS goals- to celebrate ALEKS goals from 3rd quarter, those who reached their goal will be invited to Tuesday's pizza pie party. As a reminder, students are working on ALEKS in class (about an hour+ a week) and also at home for at least 20 min. a week.
Writing- We are publishing our argument essays this week. 5-paragraph argument essays based on our Opinion Writing Checklist (see writing tab) will be due on Friday for our celebration. Portfolios will go home to celebrate pieces with families and will be due back Thursday after Spring Break!
Reading- We are continuing to analyze, discuss, and answer higher level questions relating to complex passages and texts as we prepare for the MAP test. We are becoming alert test takers by predicting the answers and locating them in the text before looking at the answer choices, being aware that often times all the answers SEEM correct, and paying attention to and inferring about the characters by reading between the lines. Students are also continuing to focus on their independent reading goals for this year- how many books has your 5th grader read so far in 5th grade???
Social Studies- We are wrapping up our colony presentations!
