It’s going to be an exciting week next week! Picture day on Monday and Scholastic Book Fair all week long! Here’s what the fifth grade will be working on in class:
Math: multiplying fractions and mixed numbers
Science: How does weathering and erosion shape the Earth?
Social studies: We’re starting a short unit on reading, comparing, and analyzing maps.
Spelling: A new spelling rule for this week!
Reading: Informational texts this week – we will be looking for main ideas and details, sorting out authors’ purposes, and investigating the different structures of writing.
Writing: We’re working on revising and editing our opinion essays next week. We’ll be paying specific attention to sentence fluency by using varied sentence beginnings, lengths, and structures.
