Mrs. Moliver's 5th Grade Class: Week 4

What’s coming up?

Curriculum Night is this Thursday! Parents, please meet in the cafeteria at 6:00 pm for a short meeting with Ms. Epps. From there, you will make your way to the classroom where we will go over some important items about this school year. I hope to see you all there!

Math:

This week we will be wrapping up equations, expressions, factors, and divisibility. There will be a test on Tuesday. Your child has plenty of notes in their math journal, as well as assignments/homework from the past weeks, and review videos too!

This first bookmark will focus on developing questions and summarizing the text. ELA: We will start types of sentences.

Spelling and Quizlet Tests will be on Friday.

Note: This past Friday, the students were given a packet containing the next few weeks of spelling lists. They were to label the top page as “week 4,” as this will be the list they are responsible for this upcoming Friday. The following pages should be labeled accordingly, and can be kept at home in a safe place to be used weekly, or in the green take home folder.
