August 30, 2017 Newsletter

Here is what we have been learning 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 are learning to add, and subtract decimals to hundredths place. They have been doing this using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction. Then the students have been relating the strategy to a written method and explaining their reasoning used.


Social Studies:  This Wednesday students will take a vocabulary and short answer test. Afterwards, they will begin a research project based on our present day economy. They will research trading partners with the US, imports and exports, and economic growth of present day.  If time allows students will present projects in class when they are competed.
