HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK💡
MATH:
In math last week we finished up our lessons from Chapter 5. Students practiced using letters as numbers, and solved equations when the value of variables were given.
READING WORKSHOP:
Our week was spent reading, analyzing, and discussing The Liberation of Gabriel King. Students examined new vocabulary terms, continued making inferences to better comprehend the story, and practiced using evidence from the text to support their opinions.
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:
Our study of the American Revolution came to an end last week as students learned about the factors that led to the colonists winning the war. Additionally, students examined the roles that women, enslaved people, and American Indians played in the American Revolution.
THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHTS💡

We will finish up Chapter 5 with an abbreviated assessment on Tuesday. We will also begin Chapter 6: Area.
