Happy last (almost) week of April! Fifth grade is as busy as ever...it's hard to believe that we only have a little over 30 days left of the school year!!!
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK:
MATH:
In math last week students continued moving through Chapter 9. We practiced multiplying by tens, hundreds, and thousands, and learned how to divide decimals.
READING WORKSHOP:
Poetry continued last week in fifth grade! Students studied the structures and formats of various poems and practiced using context clues to define unknown words.
15 DAY CHALLENGE:
We're in the final stages of our 15 Day Challenge! Students have been busy researching, documenting, reflecting, and giving peer feedback during this Personalized Learning experience! We're all looking forward to sharing projects next week!
SOCIAL SCIENCE:
Our Pioneer exploration continued last week as we began to move along the Hacker Trail. Students faced frontier fates and their first trail decision, and also composed a diary entry to document their struggles and accomplishments.
THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHTS:
MATH:
Chapter 9 will continue this week in fifth grade math. Students will practice dividing by tens, hundreds, and thousands, and estimate decimals.
READING WORKSHOP:
Poetry will continue this week, including a celebration of Poem in Your Pocket Day on Wednesday!
15 DAY CHALLENGE:
Our research will conclude this week and students will finalize their presentations.
SOCIAL SCIENCE:
Our daily life and struggles will continue along the Hacker Trail this week!
UPCOMING EVENTS:
