We had a busy week back after spring break! It's hard to believe that there are just 2 months left of the school year! Time is flying by in fifth grade!
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK 💡
MATH:
Last week in math we began Chapter 9: Ratio. Students learned how to find ratio and examined equivalent ratios.
READING WORKSHOP:
Our fiction book clubs continued last week! Students have really enjoyed their novels and I've enjoyed watching their engagement in each of the book club roles!
WRITERS' WORKSHOP:
We completed one last performance task last week in writing. This time, students put their opinion writing skills to the test as they examined various sources stating whether or not schools should purchase educational video games for students.
SCIENCE:
We officially kicked off our final science unit of the year, Ecosystems! Students began thinking about the key components of an ecosystem. We observed the living and non-living components of sample ecosystems and identified interactions between them. Additionally, our scientists discussed the survival needs of animals, examined the link between energy and matter, and explored the survival needs of living things.
THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHTS📌
MATH:
We will continue moving through Chapter 9 this week.
READING WORKSHOP:
Our final Book Club meetings will take place this week!
WRITERS' WORKSHOP:
Much of our writing time this week will be canceled due to IAR Testing. We will, however, squeeze in the first lesson of our next unit: Expository Writing.
SCIENCE:
We will continue our study of Ecosystems!
