They should have the date written down in their planners. There is also a google doc with everyone's presentation date in google classroom.
40 Book Challenge: Students have been given the goal to read 40 books (on their level) this school year. They are encouraged to read books across different genres.

This week, we will continue to learn about the American Revolution during our reading block. We will read "And Then What Happened Paul Revere" about the infamous Paul Revere and his midnight ride. We will use depth and complexity icons for comprehension and understanding.
In grammar, we will review figurative language as we read the poem "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere".
In writing, we will begin a new narrative. Students will have the option to write a spooky creative narrative or a creative (realistic) narrative of their choice.
We will continue Module 2 in Eureka Math. This week we are finishing Topic D, which focuses on line plots. Students will have a quiz on Topic D on Tuesday. Then end of module 2 test will be on Thursday.
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 continue Chapter 5 in our History Alive textbook, which focuses on European explorers and their motivations and impacts during the Age of Exploration. Students are working in groups to learn about a European explorer. Later this week, each group will present their explorer to the class.
Room 22 students are with Mrs. Johal for this science rotation. They are learning about Earth's systems.
We have PE with Rhythm and Moves on Fridays. This is in addition to our class PE.
5th grade students are participating in either band or choir. Students are to bring their music folders with them every Tuesday.
Please see the following message from our band teacher:
Hello USD families! We are learning how to make our first sounds on our instruments. In the first few weeks of learning a new instrument, some… interesting sounds might come out of your child’s instrument. Please encourage your child to keep practicing, even if it does not sound the best. I also continue to encourage everyone to find a private lessons tutor to make the most of your child’s Band experience. Music Village, West Valley Music, and other music stores will have private lessons tutors available. One lesson is equivalent to 4 classes with me so lessons are highly recommended! If your child wants to practice at home but they don’t quite know where to start, here are some videos recapping what we have learned in class! There are many more videos on this website and it is a great resource for at home practice!
5th Grade Choir with Mrs. Barry—Please get curious and ask your child to sing for you what they are learning in choir, and hopefully they’ll do it! 🤞It’s extra practice for them, reinforces the content, and more importantly, grows their confidence in singing.
