Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I'm looking forward to seeing all the kids tomorrow.
This Tuesday students will take the winter CBMs. This Thursday students will take the individual reading CBM that tests students reading fluency.
Spelling: Unit 14 test will be this Friday. Words will be uploaded after school on Monday.
5H Math: Before winter break, students were working on doubling cookie recipes to practice adding fractions in a real life problem. On Monday, students will take a look at their work and revise as necessary. On Tuesday and Wednesday we will practice comparing and ordering fractions as well as continuing to add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers. Students will begin the unit 5 test on Thursday.

There is an optional study session after school Wednesday until 4:10 as well as during lunch and/or recess on Wednesday. As always, I encourage kids to come to one or both for as long as needed. They should have in mind what they would like to work on.
Reading/Writing: In reading we will be thinking about making predictions and confirming or rejecting their validity. We will also be differentiating between major and minor details in reading texts. We will be reading from our science texts, and this strategy will help students determine what to focus on from the reading.
Students will also read a story from their Harcourt books this week and take the comprehension test on Thursday.
In writing, we have been focusing on using the 4-square to organize our writing. I will model writing a conclusion and students will finish a prompt from before break.
Grammar: Nouns will start out our week again. We need to think about the rules of plural and possessive nouns and how to correctly show plural and possessive words in our writing. Then we will move on to pronouns.
Science: In the beginning of the week we will practice making different atoms with clay. Then we will begin learning about magnets by studying the properties of magnets: what makes a magnet, what is attracted to magnets, and more.
