Here is what we have been learning in fifth grade:
In EL, students are working on researching items to put in their emergency preparedness kit in case of a natural disaster. They are also writing an essay stating their choices and explaining their rationale for including these items. Next week, we will be review for the reading EOG.
In math, students finished our last math unit of quadrilaterals and coordinate grids. We started our EOG prep and review this week and will continue it into next week. Their homework for math next week will be 20 mins on Dreambox each evening, instead of paper pencils worksheets.
In social studies, students learned this week about the causes of the civil war and now are working on their Civil War Bonanza project. This will be completed after the EOGs.
In science, next week, we will start our review for the science EOG. The 4 units we covered this year are ecosystems, motion and design, human body systems/genetics and weather. The students have a study guide covering all four units they received last week. They should continue to work on this at home and when they are finished with their work in class.
