Week of January 9-13, 2017



Happy Friday to all!

Well, we worked diligently this five-day week.  Here's what went on in 5D!

  • The students worked on decimals, fraction and percents as well as reviewing our other math concepts.  The students took an assessment on Thursday and played games on Friday with 5L.  
  • In literacy the students worked on research and then flash drafted using all their tools from the first research report.  On Thursday the students worked on identifying different text structures in an article.  This will come in handy as they write using these text structures!
  • We started our next social studies unit on colonization.  We began discussing what a colonist and colony are.  We also looked at push and pull reasons around colonization, then moved onto the mystery around Roanoke, the lost colony.  Ask your students all about it!  I've been impressed with how much they have used from our first unit to help them better understand this one!
Dates coming up!
