Here is what we have been learning in fifth grade:

Daily 5/CAFE: This week students will continue working on the literacy menu which focuses on Tall Tales.  Students will compare Tall Tales using a Tree Map and also continue to analyze accounts of the same topic noting similarities and differences in the point  of view they represent.
Writing: Students will work on research assignments related to the Civil War and Weather.

Math:. We are concluding our last unit of customary and metric units of measurement and line plots. The students will be beginning a daily review of the math standards covered this year, in preparation for the EOGs starting next week.
Social Studies:  Students are beginning their discussion of Reconstruction after the Civil War this week with Mrs. Beyer.  Students will begin The Civil War Learning Bonanza research project later this week
