Happy Subarctic Monday!!!🥶 I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! 🏈 I am looking forward to seeing you at Conferences later this week!!
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK💡
MATH:
Last week in math we completed the "exposure" lessons in Chapter 5. Students explored algebraic concepts as they solved number pattern problems and practiced using letters as numbers.
READING WORKSHOP:
Our 5th grade novel study, The Liberation of Gabriel King, continued last week. Students practiced making inferences, drawing conclusions, and supporting their claims with specific evidence from the text. I've been so impressed with the many higher level discussions our class has conducted related to themes in the text we've come across; including racism, oppression, and overcoming fear. We have a class filled with curious readers....which makes my teacher heart so happy! 💗
WRITERS' WORKSHOP:
Fiction writing continued last week in fifth grade. Students explored character, plot, and setting. We also examined how to incorporate a character's actions, thoughts, and speech into our work.
SOCIAL STUDIES:
Life in the 1770s continued last week! Students learned all about the Shot Heard 'Round the World and how the Battle of Lexington and Concord officially began the Revolutionary War.
THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHTS 📌
Math:
This week in math we will begin Chapter 6, Area. Students will practice finding the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths.
READING WORKSHOP:
We will wrap up our novel study of The Liberation of Gabriel King this week.
WRITERS' WORKSHOP:
Fiction writing will continue as students practice incorporating a character's actions, thoughts, and speech into their work.
SOCIAL SCIENCE:
Our study of the American Revolution will continue this week! Students will examine the perspectives of Loyalists, Patriots, and Neutralists.
