Another full week has come and gone and we ended it with a trip to the Robert Crown Center for our “Michael and Linda” presentation. I happened to sit with the girls and they were wonderful! I heard the boys were equally fantastic!! I was so proud of our fifth graders. Your child will have a booklet in their backpacks explaining what they learned today. Please ask your child about it! We also had a very successful trade fair on Thursday, which goes along with our social studies curriculum. The children were very creative and the trading was fun to watch. I think it was the most successful trade fair I've had so far!
This Wednesday we celebrate Veteran's Day. My dad (now deceased) fought in World War II and I'll bet you all know a veteran or two; make sure you remember to thank him or her for serving our great country. Just a reminder that our picture retake day is Thursday, November 19th. Mark your calendars if you are unhappy with the picture or if your child was not here the day they were taken.
Coming up this week:
Spelling: Lesson 11, -ly words. Test Friday.
Reading: This week we will start a new reading skill, inferencing. We will begin with a story entitled A Boy Called Slow from our textbooks. A jigsaw activity will follow where groups of students will answer certain questions and then we will put all our notes together to complete the entire activity.
Language Arts: We are working on nouns this week and will particularly focus on finding nouns in text. We will also study singular possessive nouns. I have a tentative test date of 11/20.
Social Studies: We have already read Lesson 3 on working and playing in the colonies and will make circle books to help us remember the important stuff!
Science: We have finished our ecosystems unit and will have our test on Tuesday. You should have seen the study guide by now! We will end the week with a Bill Nye video on the wetlands.
Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:
We will begin to learn about decimals with Chapter 5. We will particularly focus on decimal place value, equivalent decimals, comparing & ordering decimals, and problem solving. I foresee a test on 11/18. This is a short chapter so it won't take us long to get through it.
