Dear 5th-Grade Community,
Student-led conferences will take place on February 23rd and 25th. Please be sure to check the sign-up sheet for your child’s grade section to select a time that works best for you.
During the conference, students will lead the discussion and share what they have been learning recently, reflecting on their progress and growth.
We look forward to seeing you and celebrating your child’s learning!
Learning Goal
Students will strengthen their reading and argument skills by revising claims with strong evidence, participating in an SDG Zero Hunger debate, and demonstrating comprehension, perspective analysis, and cross-text synthesis on a post-assessment.
Readers will revise their reasons and evidence to make sure they strongly support the claim.
Readers will participate in a debate on an SDG Zero Hunger–related topic, constructing strong arguments, supporting them with evidence, and thoughtfully acknowledging and refuting counterarguments.
Students will complete a post-assessment to demonstrate their ability to identify main ideas and supporting details, summarize texts, analyze how parts of a text contribute to the whole, evaluate perspective, and synthesize information across multiple texts.
Practice reading skills through IXL: see recommendations made by teachers. Read daily and turn in your reading log by Friday to show your reading stamina and volume.

Learning Goal

Learning Goal
Students will apply their understanding of gravity by designing and creating their own projects that demonstrate how gravity affects objects.
Scientists have explored gravity through hands-on experiments and reading to build their understanding. Now, they will apply their learning by developing and designing their own gravity experiments. Using what they have discovered, scientists will create meaningful presentations to teach 2nd graders about how gravity works on Earth. Through this process, they will share their knowledge, explain their findings, and demonstrate their understanding of gravity in action.
Learning Goal
We will learn to choose communication strategies that allow us to speak out when presenting ideas and to speak up (advocate) for ourselves and others.
Communicate kindly and respectfully so that everyone feels safe and welcomed.
Speak up in a strong and assertive way that is kind and respectful of others.
Recognize when and how to speak up assertively.
Recall a conversation in which you wanted to speak up for yourself or someone else but “Blooped.” What caused the Blooper? If you could redo that conversation, what would you do differently?
Student-Led Conferences on February 23rd and 25th. Please make sure you sign up! English Literacy Debate February 17th (students only); English Literacy Post Assessment-February 18th
