Here is what we have been learning in
fifth grade:
Daily 5/CAFE:
This week students will complete the menu entitled: Toliver’s Secret. Students
have been working to compare and contrast two stories considering the author’s
point of view using evidence from the text. Next week they will begin a menu
about James Forten.
Writing: This week we will
continue to work on their opinion piece on a topic supporting a point of view
with reasons and information. They will strive to provide logically ordered
reasons that are supported by facts and details.
Math: Students
have finished their multiplying decimals unit and are starting dividing decimals to hundredths, using
concrete models or drawings and strategies. They also will be relating the
strategy to a written method and explaining the reason it was used.
Social Studies: The students have started
their study of the Revolutionary War with Mrs. Beyer. 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.
