The Headlines
It has been a
super-productive week in 5B. I know it
was a very test heavy week, but the kids did remarkably well and I could tell
there was a lot of studying that happened!
Math: We reviewed
and tested over Unit 4 this week and most of the students did well. I will be sending the tests home next week
and corrections will be due the following day.
We began Unit 5 on measurement and will continue that next week, looking
at multi-shaped figures.
Literature: We finished The
Hobbit, and loved it! Next week we will
complete a final writing assignment in which the students will complete a story
map, summary, and illustration for their favorite chapter.
Writing: This week we focused on prepositions used as adverbs and adjectives and reviewed
our sentence diagramming. This review
will continue next week and we will take a grammar test next Wednesday. I will hold a tutoring session for Grammar on
Monday from 2:45-3:20, so please make sure your child attends if they are
struggling in this area.
Science: We completed our Mitosis unit this week and I am sure you all heard
about our bone dissection! Although it
was a stinky activity, it was a pretty cool introduction to our unit on
bones. Next week we will begin looking
at the bones of the upper body.
History: We took the
final test over The Reformation and started our first unit studying the 50
states. We will be looking at The
Northeast region.
Announcements:
Thank you to our class
parents for setting up the Sign-Up Genius for our literature celebration. If you have not had the chance to sign up
check out what is left:
Also, thank
you so much to the parents who came in last minute and made our state books, we
really appreciate your help and these will be great tools for the kids to use.
As you know
the week before break can be a very exciting time for the kids (and
teachers!). However, we still have a lot
of learning to do, so it is very important that the students come to school
ready to learn and focus! This may be a
good reminder to share with your fifth grader J
