Week 28

I hope you have all had a wonderful spring break! As we prepare to get back into the normal routine on Monday, here is a look at our upcoming week.

Math: Our in-class review will cover input/output tables, dot plots, scatter plots, stem & leaf plots, geometry (polygons), and financial literacy. Again, students are encouraged to review at home by looking back through their math notebooks and folders (especially POD and exit tickets), checking out 5th Grade Math Quizlet Review, and logging on to Think Through Math for extra practice. Math STAAR: Tuesday, March 28

Reading: We are finishing our book club novels this week and will be meeting in groups to discuss jobs. Students will be assigned their book project (centered around the jobs they’ve been working on throughout the novel) which will be due on 3/31. We will also be focusing on summarization and reading passage skills in preparation for the quickly approaching STAAR test. At home practice may include: reading aloud to someone and focusing on inferencing, summarizing, and predicting, working through practice passages in blue workbook, reviewing objectives in reading folder, and checking out 5th Grade Reading Quizlet Review. Reading STAAR: Wednesday, March 29
Quizlet and spelling quizzes on Friday.

Science: This week we are covering invasive species and plant/animal adaptations. Here are some great videos for review: Study Jams - under the “Plants” tab -> Roots & Stems, Flowers, Plants with Seeds. Under the “Animals” tab -> Animal Life Cycles

Social Studies: Civil War - students will continue to learn the causes of the war, the differences between the Northern and Southern economies at that time, states' rights, slavery/underground railroad, and a couple of key battles of the war.
