Math: We are still studying fractions and this week are multiplying fractions by a whole number. I have a video ready to post to assist you in helping your student with their homework. Lots of new methods are being taught and your fifth graders are working hard! Below I have added the anchor chart to show you all of the methods we use to multiply fractions. Any method is fine, as long as they are using them!
Science: We are finishing up "Changes to Land" and will be testing this week over it. Your students have notes in their journals on weathering, erosion, and deposition and they also have assignments in Stemscopes to study. Please make sure they are signing on each week and doing their science homework. It is assigned on Mondays and due on Fridays.
Social Studies: We have been working on memorizing the Preamble and it is a major grade. We have taken a more in-depth look at the road to the American Revolution and have been utilizing our big social studies book.
Reading: We have studied text structures and now talking about text features in reading. In ELA, we are discussing expository writing and different parts of speech.
***Thursday and Friday are Early Dismissal days for parent-teacher conferences. I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to all of y'all for having 100% participation. I look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday.
