November 5, 2014 Newsletter

Here is what we are currently learning in fifth grade: 

Daily 5/CAFE: This week students will complete the menu entitled: Toliver’s Secret.  Students have been working to compare and contrast two stories considering the author’s point of view using evidence from the text.

Writing: This week we will continue and try to complete an opinion piece on a topic supporting a point of view with reasons and information. They will strive to provide logically ordered reasons that are supported by facts and details.

Math:  Students have finished their multiplying decimals unit and are starting to divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies. They also will be relating the strategy to a written method and explaining the reason it was used.

Social Studies: The students have started their study of the Revolutionary War with Mrs. Beyer.  They will learn: how independence is gained; how European settlements changed the land and people of North America; the causes of the Revolutionary War and the aftermath of the American Revolution.
