August 19, 2015 Newsletter

Here is what we have been learning so far in fifth grade:

Daily 5/CAFE: This week students will complete their Daily 5 Menu entitled: “The Golden Lion Tamarin”.  Students are working to identify text features used in this story and write a brief description of what they learned from each feature.  They will also determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text.
Writing:
 Students will continue to work to complete their Memoir writing and share stories.

Math:  Students have been working on rounding decimals and powers of 10. Next they will be adding, subtracting decimals to the hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction. They will also relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.
Social Studies: Students will continue to learn about  the impact of production, specialization, technology and division of labor on the economic growth of the US. They will also summarize the role of international trade between the US and other countries. Students will take a test next week. (Tuesday)
