Here is what we have been learning in fifth grade:
In EL, students just took their mid assessment for Unit 2 of Module 2. Students had to identify and explain the meaning of similes, metaphors and idioms. They also had to compare and contrasts stories from the same genre and determine how the narrator's point of view influenced how the events were described.(RL.5.4,RL 5.6 RL.5.9, L.5.2 and L.5.5) Students are currently working on writing an a literary analysis of the book, The Most Beautiful Roof in the World. In their essay they are explaining how the author uses concrete and sensory details to help them better understand the rainforest. (W.5.2,W.5.4,W5.5, W.5.9b)
In Math, students have been 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.
In Social Studies,The students have started their study of the Revolutionary War. They will learn: how independence is gained; how European settlements changed the land and people of North America; the causes of the Revolutionary War and the aftermath of the American Revolution.
