It’s the first of a few 4-day weeks in a row. Here’s what fifth graders are doing:
Writing: Final revisions and edits on our last few essays.
Reading: Students will be finishing their novels on their own this week and working on a Literary Newspaper to demonstrate their analysis of the text.
Spelling/Grammar: Continued work with homophones.
Science: Groups will be completing their posters on Cells this week.
Social Studies: We will learn about New Amsterdam (soon to be New York City), and begin learning about the 13 British colonies.
Math: We are beginning a new unit this week. We will learn about positive/negative numbers and plotting points on a coordinate plane.
