I hope everyone enjoyed the wonderful weather this weekend! Here's a look at what's coming up this week:
Spelling: students will take the Unit 2 pre-test on Monday, and the assignment and list will be posted after school on Monday in the spelling tab of the blog.
5H Math: we will continue working on adding and subtracting decimals as well as: what steps to use when solving word problems, ordering decimals, converting metric and standard measurements, and making line plots from data.
Reading: this week students will work on answering open ended questions about our read aloud book. During independent reading time, students will continue to read their selected novels and write reading responses based on the strategy of visualization.
Writing: this week we will finish our "Fortunately" stories. We will also discuss all of the ways in which writers write and begin drafting a writer's workshop piece.
Science: We will begin the week by reviewing the states of matter and the behavior of the molecules in each state. Then we will be learning about air and answering the questions: Does air take up space? Does air have weight? We will also determine what happens to air with temperature change. The water cycle and clouds will begin toward the end of the week.

Citizenship: This week we will be talking about what it means to be responsible in the classroom and around the school...maybe even at home :)
Remember, this Thursday is Curriculum Night. I will be sharing about fifth grade curriculum from 6:30 to 6:55 and again from 7:25 to 8:00; you may choose whichever session works for you this year. There will be a whole school session on what math instruction will look like this year as we have adopted new standards in Illinois called The Common Core. This math session will be in the gym from 7:05 to 7:25 and is for all grade levels.
