Happy last week of January!! Where has the time gone?? Fifth graders have been incredibly busy...and not just on the academics! Our Frozen auditions have been amazing, and I'm sure this week will be no different! Thank you again for your willingness to support our musical and get. your kids out the door early for auditions!! We appreciate you!! 💗
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK 📌
MATH:
Last week in math we continued moving through Chapter 6: Volume. Students learned how to use the formula for finding the volume of rectangular prisms and composite solids. We also practiced solving real world volume problems.
READING WORKSHOP:
Our literacy time last week focused on the nonfiction text, Freedom Walkers. Throughout the week, students examined new vocabulary terms and practiced using various comprehension strategies to better understand this complex text. As we explored this story behind the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott, students learned about the lives of Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks. Students examined pictures and captions to better comprehend this complex text, and used evidence from the text to support their opinions in constructed responses.
WRITERS' WORKSHOP:
In writing last week, students continued revising and editing their fictions drafts. We revised for setting, and examined prepositional phrases and point of view. Students also revised their dialogue formatting.
SOCIAL STUDIES:
Our study of The Constitution came to an end last week with our wonderful Branches of Government presentations.
SCIENCE:
We began our second science unit of the year, Investigating Matter! Our focus for our fist lesson was on defining and classifying matter.
THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHTS 💡
Math:
We will wrap up our Volume chapter this week with a final assessment on Wednesday. Next up, Chapter 7: Line Plots and The Coordinate Plane.
READING WORKSHOP:
Our nonfiction study of Freedom Walkers will continue this week.
WRITERS' WORKSHOP:
Our writers will self-evaluate, peer conference, proofread, and make final edits on their fiction drafts.
SCIENCE:
We continue our Investigating Matter unit this week. Students will examine properties of matter and properties of gases.
UPCOMING EVENTS 📆
