I hope everyone had a fantastic week! Fifth grade sure did!!
Science: In our science stations this week we have been learning about how different forms of precipitation are created and about the different types of clouds. We will be doing our last lesson of this chapter next week!
Math: We continued on in another division chapter (ch. 4) and have been learning how to divide with 3-digit dividends and 2-digit divisors. We also learned how to adjust the quotient by using estimation and rounding. Our chapter 3/4 test will be next Thursday, October 27th.
Writing: This week we have been learning how to not only revise our information pieces about the American Revolution by looking at the components of a good writer but also looking at the components of a good historian! We've learned how to structure our writing by separating it by headings and learned how to make sure we are being as specific as possible with people and locations in order to teach our reader about our topic. We will be celebrating these completed pieces next Thursday!
Reading: We have been discussing how nonfiction texts get more complex as we progress as readers. We've been practicing strategies that help us figure out the meaning of unknown words such as using context clues, pictures, breaking apart the word, etc.
Upcoming Events:
10/24 & 10/26: Parent Teacher Conferences 4-7
10/ 31: Pumpkin Run and Halloween Party
Have a great weekend!!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Holtmann
