Week of January 23-27

Hello 5D Families,

We had a fantastic four day week with an unexpected snow day thrown in! From Trashketball to STEMbassadors to extra BIRTHDAY recess and Colony WeVideos, the students worked hard and enjoyed themselves in the process!

In MATH, we...

We learned how to add/subtract mixed numbers with different denominators
Regrouped with subtraction of fractions from a whole number
Regrouped with mixed numbers with unlike denominators
Used Khan Academy to help our learning
Figured out what homework each of the students needed to help themselves on Thursday

In LITERACY, we

Introduced how the students will use their research report to make something amazing
Worked one on one with Mrs. DeLello and Mrs. Bastille to edit our writing
Worked in groups with our spelling words
Worked in teams to practice spelling

In SOCIAL STUDIES, we

Debated about possible theories of what happened with Roanoke using evidence
Partnered up to create a We Video informercial to encourage people to move to each colony

Something BIG is coming up this February!

Send them in as early as this Monday through Wednesday. We will use the materials on Wednesday afternoon.
