Walk-a-Thon
The walk-a-thon is on Saturday, September 26. Fifth grade students will earn science camp credits for any money raised for the Walk-a-Thon, excluding company matches.
This week, we will continue our class novel, Esperanza Rising. This week we will focus on citing evidence from the text with a strategy called ACE. When answering comprehension questions, 5th graders should be able to answer in a complete sentece, cite evidence from the text, and explain how the quote supports their answer.
In grammar, we will continue learning about figurative language. In addition to similes, metaphors, and personification, we will focus on alliteration and onomatopoeia.
In writing, we will continue our narrative writing unit. This week we will look at the personal narrative rubric and plot.
We will continue Module 1 in Eureka Math this week, focusing on long division of whole numbers with double-digit divisors. There will be a Topic C quiz on Friday.
In 5th grade, all students must be fluent with multiplication facts. Please practice at home if your child is not fluent.
This week we will start Chapter 2 in our History Alive textbook, which focuses on Native American cultural regions.
Room 22 students are with Mrs. Hettrick for this science rotation. They are learning about life science.
We have PE with Rhythm and Moves on Fridays. This is in addition to our class PE.
5th grade students will choose between band and choir. Please read the following message from our district's music teachers:
Hello USD families! We are super excited to have another year of awesome music making. Before we can get started there’s a couple of things we need from you.
Band/Choir Choice Form: We will need the Band/Choir Choice Form sent out on ParentSquare completed by Friday, August 21st to make sure your child is placed in the appropriate class. If you need assistance acquiring an instrument, please contact Jordan ASAP. Remember, USD only has a limited number of trumpets and trombones to loan out, so please specify if you need a school owned instrument. School owned instruments will be distributed on a first come first serve basis. All band students need to have their instrument acquired by Monday, September 14th. Here is the Music Choice Form!
