Tonight your child will come home with a small packet of their graded work. This packet doesn't include all of the work from last term; however, it contains the assessments and some of their writing assignments.
I need these back on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21st.
If you have any questions that your child is unable to answer (and they SHOULD be able to answer any and all questions about the work) then feel free to text or email me.
ELA - This week we have been focusing on verbs tenses - past, present, future, perfect past, perfect present, and perfect future. Additionally, students have been working on identifying and using the correct word when they have to choose between there, their, and they're. Today I briefly discussed my trilogy study and we will begin reading The Giver next week.
Math - We have been working on decimals all week. Fifth graders are required to understand and complete math problems with decimals up to the thousandth place value. Today students took notes on the 3-step process for multiplying decimals.
Social Studies - We have been working on our Underground Railroad maps and taking notes on the era directly preceding the Civil War. Additionally, students wrote a Unit of Inquiry reflection from the perspective of someone living in America at that time.
Science - We completed an activity where students voted and discussed several traits (hair, eye color, sports playing ability...) and whether they were learned or inherited.
Other Announcements
-Tomorrow students will have an ELA assessment on Perfect Verb Tenses and "There, Their, and They're" and a math quiz on decimals.
