Happy Friday Room 18 Families!
Thank you for taking a moment to read about what your student did this week in fifth grade.
📚ELA: This week, we continued reading the book Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech. The students are answering comprehension questions using complete sentences as they read. We are studying the elements of a story and character traits as we go through this exciting novel! In writing, students finished up their Defend a Villain persuasive writing project. They presented their defense to the “court” this week. They did such an awesome job with their writing, and presenting evidence to back their case.
🧪Science: This week, students finished up their science boards and prepared to present their experiments to the judges next week.
🌎Social Science: Students learned about Pre- Colonial history this week. We played a review game in teams, and the students did great! We will wrap up pre-colonial history next week.
📏Math:
Students continued learning about Module 4: Multiplying and Dividing fractions this week. This week, we wrapped up Topic F: Multiplication and Division of Fractions and Decimal Fractions. We will finish up Module 4 before spring break.
*Khan Academy math is directly related to the Eureka modules. This is assigned to students via GoogleClassroom and they can watch videos and do practice problems for every topic we cover (it is organized by unit and topic). This is a fantastic resource for students who need extra practice or clarification!!
