What an awesome 3-day week in 5th grade!!
Science: We did our first lesson on classifying living things. We kicked off this chapter by learning how to use and create dichotomous keys!
Math: We worked on adding and subtracting decimals! The kiddos are doing really well in this chapter! Our chapter 5 test is scheduled for next Wednesday, 11/16.
Writing: During writing we talked about viewing our event from different perspectives in order to give our reader a detailed account of the event. We also discussed how we can make our information pieces flow from subheading to subheading smoothly. Everyone has been working extremely hard during this piece!
Reading: We worked in our guided reading groups on looking across to texts to find similarities and also pushed ourselves to find evidence from the text to support our thinking when answer deep level questions. We also talked about how there are different levels of questions-- some that require us to recall facts and others that require us to think outside of the text!
Upcoming Events:
11/18 Wear Flyer Family Shirt & Picture Retake Day
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Holtmann
