The students have a half day this Wednesday and will be dismissed at 12:15.
5H Math
Most students need to finish the Unit 2 test tomorrow.
Students are also working on correcting their work on the “Restaurant Math”
sheets (adding, subtracting, and multiplying decimals).
We’ll begin unit 3 on Wednesday with division. We’ll talk
about what division is, in what situations we use division, and solve some
realistic problems involving division. We will also practice the standard
algorithm for long division.
Language Arts
This week we will continue to work on finding the main idea
of both fiction and nonfiction pieces. We will also determine the supporting
details in order to write a summary. We will use Time for Kids articles, our
independent reading books, as well as some reading related to our science
content. We will also begin writing memoirs.
We will begin lesson three in word study, “Open Syllables”.
This has gotten pushed back from last week. Kids will also take a quiz on the
homophones we’ve learned about so far on Friday. This will be different than
the other quizzes we’ve had, because the kids have these words already in their
word study notebooks. For the quiz, I will use the word in a sentence, and kids
will have to understand the meaning of the word to know which spelling of the
word to write down.
Science
In small groups, kids researched a cloud type, made a model
of their cloud, and presented to the class last week. We did not get into the
layers of the atmosphere last week, so we will start there this week, and if we
have time, move into the tools people use to predict and measure the weather.
