This Week in Room 33! Jan. 6-10
Welcome back and Happy New Year! Thank you SO much for all the sweet and thoughtful gifts.
I felt so spoiled and appreciated! I can't believe it is my last week of long-term subbing already!
Mrs. Schaefer will be back on Thursday, and I know the kids are so excited to see her! Thank you
for sharing your students with me over the last three months! I have truly loved getting to know
them and will miss them SO very much! I hope everyone enjoyed their winter break and that you
are all relaxed and ready for the 2nd half of 5th grade!

What to expect this week in 5th grade…
ELA: We will be launching a new unit on social issues book clubs and we are excited to begin
a new writing unit on journalism! Students will be expected to read their assigned pages each
day/night and participate in daily discussions with their book club. Their homework each night
will include reading the pages that their group has decided on. This counts as their 20 minutes!
Students will learn what social issues are and how our reading experiences help us empathize with
characters and other people around us. In writing, students will practice observing events, taking factual
notes, and writing short news articles in order to retell the event and evoke emotion from their audience.

STEAM: We are now in Volume 2 of our math series and starting chapter 8 on fractions and
decimals. This week our focus is on relating fractions and division. Please practice those basic
multiplication and division facts with your student- it is SO important to know them quickly in order
to efficiently perform these new skills. Thank you for all your hard work at home! Check out Math
Magician for extra practice. We will also begin our unit on the universe, focusing first on the
question, what is the solar system? Our unit will be working towards how we analyze and
interpret data to write an opinion piece about where we want to spend our next birthday?
