Wow, what a busy week we have had in 5D!
Here's a little bit of what we did...
- In math we began division of whole numbers after working with divisibility rules.
- In reading and writing, the students looked through many non-fiction books to notice the set up, display and information included. We then learned how to take notes noticing the topic, sub topic and details as well as boxes and bullets These skills they are learning we be useful from now through college!
- We are reading aloud Pax as well as a new non-fiction book called When Lunch Fights Back. Be sure to ask about them!
- We started a science unit with 5L and 5W all about space. This unit involves Earth and it's place in the universe, why we have day and night as well as gravitational forces. The students learned hands on each day. Ask them about making a model of the Earth, moon and sun as well as their sundial.
- Words Their Way: Students are bringing home their assessment when it's completed. Based on the last one, I switched up some groups. Students should be sorting words at home when a sheet is given for homework.
I'm looking forward to Innovation Day on Monday! Make sure your child has all the things he/she may need for Monday. I'll be taking a lot of pictures to post on the blog next week!
