Reading/Writing

Our 5th graders are beginning their second reading unit which is on Biodiversity in the Rainforest. During this unit the students will be reading: The Most Beautiful Roof in the World by Kathryn Lasky, Seeds of Change: Planting a Path to Peace by Jen Cullerton Johnson and The Great Kapok Tree. They will read to build knowledge about the rainforest and analyze the author’s craft in narrative writing to build proficiency in writing first person narratives about the rainforest.

Math

Students should work on:

  • Memorizing multiplication and division facts up to 12x12

  • Understand and be able to use the order of operations to solve equations (PEMDAS)

  • Diving 4 digit numbers by 2 digit numbers (for example, 1, 295 divided by 15)
