Here's what is happening in 5th grade in the next few weeks:

 

We are finishing up Let's Go Learn testing in the classroom. We have been using the chrome books for this. We are going to start our first writing assignment in class this week, the students will be writing a fictional narrative about a haunted house. 

 

We are also finishing up Chapter 1 in Math and will be taking the Chapter 1 Math Test on Monday, October 4th. We will take a review test in class tomorrow and go over it in detail to practice. The students will also bring the review test home for homework tomorrow and will keep it over the weekend to study for their test. Students can bring their Math books home to review if they remember to bring it back to school. It's important for students to memorize the Properties of Addition and of Multiplication, and work on multiplying by 2- and 3-digit numbers. If you need extra practice, please let me know and I will send you the IXL skills that go along with it.

 

Since Let's Go Learn testing is finished, we will be resuming with Science soon.

 

Students have been having trouble remembering to do their spelling homework and their reading logs. Since I have been having some difficulty getting this from them weekly, I have started checking reading and spelling daily. Please remind students to read for 30 minutes and get their reading log signed, and to practice all their spelling words every day Monday-Thursday to prepare for Friday spelling tests.

 

Thank you for all your support, and please let me know if you have any questions.
