5th Grade News

Reading:

Students did a great job on their Super Hero Bios! It was fun to hear and see all the creativity.

Our next unit pairs really nicely with what your child is doing in his/her home room classroom. We are going to be looking closely at the story of Henry Brown. The following NCSS will be addressed:

RI5.1 - Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

RI5.4 - Determine the meaning of general academic and domain-specific words and phrases in a text relevant to a grade 5 topic or subject area.

RI5.6 - Analyze multiple accounts of the same event or topic, noting important similarities and differences in the point of view they represent.

Students will also be learning about primary and secondary accounts while evaluating a manuscript and deciding whether or not based on several sources if it should be published or not.

Math:

We are working on several volume activities that address 5.MD.C.3 Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.
