Hello Parents:
Last week proved to be a very productive week in 5B. We got a lot accomplished! Great effort shown by all of the students. Well-done!
This week we will be visiting Hill Middle School on Wednesday morning. The students are looking forward to this trip! Also, on Wednesday afternoon, the students will be participating in Jump Rope for Heart.
Here's what's going on in 5B this week.
Reading- During reading this week, we will be reading at least one story from our anthology. One story is about Lewis and Clark and it coincides with what we're studying in social studies currently. Another story is about the American West. We will also try to fit in at least one TFK, which always focuses on current events.
Writing-This week in writing we will be finishing up our lunch/recess graphs and summaries. Following this activity, we will begin a research activity on the Lewis and Clark expedition. The students will be researching the route that Lewis & Clark took and will be making advertisements to convince people to move West in America.
Math Accel: The students took their Unit 8 test last Friday. On Monday, we will begin Unit 9. We will also continue to work on some group problem-solving activities.
Social Studies: We will be taking our open-book Chapter 11 test this Monday. On Tuesday, we will begin Chapter 12 and continue working our way to the Civil War. Next week, we will add science back into our day as the microscopes become available.
Enjoy your week! As always, if you have questions or concerns, please feel free to email me.
