Happy Valentine's Day!
Our party is on Friday, the 12th at 1:30. Students get to enjoy one sweet treat and one healthy treat.
Reminder: There is NO SCHOOL on Monday, February 15 in observance of President's Day.
Our students have earned a class party by collecting $1,000.00 fifth grade dollars!!!! The party will be during the afternoon of the Tuesday, February 16. We are going to watch Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, enjoy some treats, and wear our 'comfy' clothes to school. Any treats brought in will be very much appreciated.
Here is our upcoming week in a nutshell:
MATH
Our unit on geometry continues with circles, congruence, and lines of symmetry. The test covering the concepts in chapter 18 is scheduled for Wednesday, February 17. Although we are moving forward, we still need to work on fractions; particularly simplifying fractions, converting mixed numbers to improper fractions and vice versa, and ordering fractions.
LANGUAGE ARTS
In Night of the Twisters, we will continue discussing the characters, connecting, and new vocabulary.
In addition, we will be reviewing graphic organizers, setting, plot and theme.
Our progress in writing is continuing as we move from the focus portion of our expository papers to the support portion.
SOCIAL STUDIES
We began the first steps of our reader's theater on Paul Revere's ride, which we will continue working on throughout the next couple of weeks.
Lesson 3 will be wrapped up today which brings us to the Chapter 8 test scheduled for Thursday, February 11.
SCIENCE
We are going to begin discussing the water cycle in lesson 2 as we begin a hands on activity on the concept on Tuesday. Friday, the students will have an open note, open book quiz covering this lesson.
