This Week in Room 33! Sept. 11-15


***Don't Forget-


Early Release is on Wednesday! Does your child know how he/she is getting home? Parents should put any changes in dismissal plans in the PikMyKid app.  
Dismissal is at 1:40.  

This week in 5th grade...

Science- We will be performing our paper airplane and paper towel investigation this week! 

Writing- This week we are completing our 1st personal narratives with revisions on adding scenes from the past/future, working on our leads/endings, and beginning to publish!

Reading- Wow! We are doing some deep thinking and hard work in reading! We are learning that we need our brains on FULL POWER to really dig deep into our independent books. Reading can be SO MUCH MORE than just reading at the surface level if we put our mind to it!

We are beginning books clubs this week! Students will be working hard on reading pages and pages of their book club books by following their reading assignments they created for class reading time and for reading at home (please see Daily Homework page for book club assignments starting Monday). We will be working on having meaningful, supportive, and thoughtful book club discussions- ask your student for different discussion sentence starters they are trying at school and encourage them at home as well!


Math- Place value tests will come home Monday- I am SO proud of our mathematicians! We are starting our 2nd chapter this week on multiplying whole numbers with a focus on prime factorization, powers & exponents, multiplication patterns and problem solving using a table.

Social Studies- We will continue with our study on the Declaration of Independence!
