Unity Day-WEAR ORANGE on Wednesday!

Lindbergh Schools is proud to participate in Unity Day, which focuses on building community through
kindness, promoting acceptance and encouraging inclusion. This Wednesday, Oct. 23, we are asking
Lindbergh students, parents, staff and community to unite in support of a community without bullying.
Wear orange, spread kindness, and help build our Lindbergh community. Use the hashtag #FlyKind, and
you might see your photos shared on Lindbergh social media pages!


This week in 5th grade…


ELA: We are drafting our memoirs this week, and adding depth to our writing by
asking ourselves, “What is the deeper theme or message we want to convey?” We are
studying a variety of structures and using figurative language to help create depth.
We are learning that memoirs are a hybrid type of writing with narrative AND
expository portions.  Students are continuing their book club discussions, I am so proud
of their in depth conversations, they are really growing as learners.   


Now that we are starting the 2nd quarter, students will be reflecting on their reading
lives, and setting new goals. Has your student showed you their “40 Book Challenge”
Google slides??? Check out THIS article we will be discussing this week to boost our
reasons “why” we read! We also spend time meeting with a teacher to read and discuss
a variety of texts. We are using sites like NewsELA and ReadWorks.


We will continue our “Biz Town” lessons, exploring and discussing financial literacy.
Students are learning about the role of a bank, and what it means to hold a checking
account, and keep a transaction register! 

STEAM:   We will begin our study of adding and subtracting decimals (chapter 5).
We will be rounding decimals to estimate sums and will also show how to add decimals
with and without models. We will be blending this chapter with Biz Town, for balancing
a checkbook is all about adding and subtracting decimals.
