Here is what we have been learning in fifth grade:
Daily 5/CAFE: Next week students will begin the menu
entitled: Toliver’s Secret. Students will be working to
compare and contrast two stories considering the author’s point of view using
evidence from the text.
Writing: This week and next week we will continue
writing an opinion piece on a topic supporting a point of view with reasons and
information. Students will strive to provide logically ordered reasons that are
supported by facts and details based on research.
Math: Students will complete the coordinate
grid unit on Wednesday and then begin multiplying and dividing decimals. They
will be multiplying and dividing decimals to hundredths, using concrete models
or drawings and strategies based on place value properties of operations,
and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction. They also will be
relating the strategy to a written method and explaining the reason it was
used. On Friday students will enjoy a Snack Math Activity in
class.
Science: Students are finishing up their Motion
and Design unit. They were given a study guide last week. The study guide is
due Thurs. Oct. 27th and the test will be Friday, the 28th.
