Updates for 5th Grade!
A field trip form for next week's trip to the play Akeelah and the Spelling Bee was sent home today. PLEASE return by Thursday of this week.
Reading: We are into Unit 4 Week 1 which will focus on tall tales, point of view, synonyms and antonyms. Our comprehension test will be next Tuesday. In the meantime we will explore the tall tale: Davy Crockett Saves the World
Language Arts: Thank you for helping your child finish their alphabet alliteration poem over break. I have a few students who need to finish those so that they can get them typed. There will be no Google Spelling Word Work or Vocabulary this week for homework. We will be completing them together in class. The test will be this Friday.
Reminder as well that your child is working on memorizing a poem. Please help them with this task. We will be reciting them starting the first week in March. I will have a sign-up sheet for them to choose a day.
Math- We started work with fractions, decimals and percents. Today we focused on prime factorization which will help tomorrow with reviewing LCM-Least Common Multiples.
Social Studies- There next test is scheduled for February 25th. The studying for this should have started with looking over nightly notes, making note cards and other strategies to remember the information.
Science-They were introduced to their Biomes project today. Ask about it!
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
