As I'm sure you know, the Fifth Grade Farewell is Tuesday! Kids should bring their skates, if they said they were bringing their own. Also, kids do not need to bring a lunch. It should be a fun day!
For Service Club Members: Wednesday is our last meeting! Kids need to bring their permission slips if they'd like a treat.
All LMC books are due Friday! Also, if you notice any books at home that say: Happy, Lundgren, Guleserian, or Pederson...they belong in the 5H classroom library. I also get books from the Aurora Public Library, so if you notice any of these laying around that aren't familiar to you, please have your child bring them back in! THANK YOU!
5H Math: Kids will get their Unit 8 Tests (Part 2) back on Wednesday. We'll then be moving on to Unit 9. The skills for the unit are listed below with the standards in parentheses if you want to learn more about the specific skills. We'll start with volume of rectangular prisms.
review skills
-multiplying fractions (5.NF.4 and 5.NF.5)
-converting measurements (5.MD.1)
-finding volume of rectangular prisms (5.MD.3, 5.MD.4, 5.MD.5)
new skill
-graphing points on coordinate grids (5.G.1 and 5.G.2)
Language Arts:
We'll be focused on our Performance Task as well as reading Maniac Magee. The performance task requires kids to identify a trait they think is important in their life and explain why they believe this. Then they will need to describe a literary character and historical figure who also possess this characteristic/trait. Additionally, kids will need to explain how this trait will help them move forward wisely in their own life.
Kids will have a word study quiz (second list of words with vowel teams) on Thursday. We've been working on these words since last week.
Social Studies:
Kids will have a test this Friday about the Constitution. Study topics:
This week we'll also be learning about events that occurred in the early years of our country (Louisiana Purchase, Trail of Tears, Gold Rush, Industrial Revolution, etc.).
Science:
This week we'll be learning about the parts of a microscope and their function.
