Here is what we have been learning so far in fifth grade:
Daily 5/CAFE: This week students will begin their Daily 5 Menu entitled: A Boy Called Slow. They will be working on this over the next two weeks. They have been working to determine the theme of the story and how characters respond to challenges. They have also worked on story vocabulary and comprehension skills. Students will learn how to “Track” articles and reading passages in small group.
Writing:
This week students will continue working on their narrative writing. They are working on revising, editing and publishing their essays.
Math: We just finished our multiplying and dividing multi-digit whole number unit. We took an assessment over this on Monday. Please look for this in Wed. folders. We started our decimals unit Tues. We will be reading, writing, and comparing decimals to thousandths place. We will be moving into rounding decimals and powers of 10. The students will be recognizing that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
Science: The students have been working hard on researching terrestrial and aquatic biomes. They will be putting all this information into a flip book that they can use as a tool for review. This will complete the Ecosystems Unit this week. The students were given a study guide last week and 17 questions are due Wed. Aug. 2nd. Their test will be Friday, Aug. 4th.
