This week:
ISATs are this week, Tuesday-Thursday. The schedule is below in a prior post.
Fun Fair is this Saturday!
5H Math: We will only have math Monday, Wednesday and Friday this week because of ISATs. There won't be any homework assignments this week. Students will get their unit 6 tests back tomorrow. Unit 7 is a review unit that will lead into unit 8 well. Unit 7 is a review of adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers. We will focus on writing and solving story problems and being able to draw a model to explain our problem solution. We will work through this unit quickly because it is a review. Unit 8 will include multiplying of fractions.
Language Arts: This week we will wrap up the two writing pieces we've been working on: the research paper and the short story. For our research piece we are working on having a well-developed introduction and conclusion. We will spend a couple days revising and editing our short stories and then start typing final drafts later in the week.
Although, we won't have any homework this week, students should make sure to read at home. Most days we won't have much time for independent reading because of ISATs.
Science: We are starting the digestive/health unit this week. Students will use texts and web sites to determine the steps in the digestive system, the parts of the body that aid in digestion and their locations. Students will be collecting information in order to create either a Power Point presentation, Prezi, or Photo Story telling what they've learned.
