This Week in Room 33! Jan. 13-17



***As a reminder, students should have a pair of earbuds or headphones at school to utilize when viewing videos and listening to audiobooks. Thank you for making sure your student has one at school! 
What to expect this week in 5th grade…

ELA: This week we will begin our social issues book club (we will begin on Tuesday!) and continue our journalism unit.  Students will work with their new book club group to analyze the way different authors address & craft similar social issues in both literature & current events.  In writing, students will keep working to perfect their reporting craft by focusing on keeping their articles short and concise.  

***Students should read their assigned book club book in school and at home. When they reach their stopping point, they can continue reading their choice books. I am looking forward to the amount of reading, deep thinking and conversing that will be happening in our classroom!

STEAM: We are continuing chapter 8 with lessons on simplest form, problem solving, least common multiple, and using the ladder method to help find the GCF, LCM, and simplest form. Students brought home their new Volume 2 math textbook last week. Please keep them home for extra practice when necessary. We will also be starting our next unit of study in science→ Our Place in the Universe!
