This was an unexpectedly short and fast week! I enjoyed meeting with all of you at conferences.
Please know that you may contact me at anytime with questions or concerns!
Next Week:
- Next week will be a bit different. I will be out Monday and Tuesday for meetings at the middle school. If you need to contact me, please use email, and I will be able to get back with you! Friday all three of the 5th grade teachers will be out for a conference on differentiated learning.
Writing: We have been writing narratives and are now going to be starting expository pieces. We will begin with biographies: students will be interviewing a partner and writing this information into a biographical pieces.
Math: Next week we will begin the first of 2 units on division. We will continue to review multiplication.
Reading: Students will be broken up into 4 groups and reading various novels for Guided Reading. The focus will be on comprehension strategies, vocabulary, and topics such as simile, metaphor, personification, etc.
Science: Monday students will wrap up there projects and present them by Tuesday.
The test for Objects in the Sky will most likely be on Friday, October 15th.
Homework: I generally don't give homework over long breaks.
Reading: I have spoken about this with the class, but probably should discuss again. Reading at least 4-5 days each week should be considered homework. Whatever your child prefers to read- magazine articles, short stories, novels, fiction, non-fiction - is fine. They should read what interests them in order to encourage the joy of reading. At school students are reading what is chosen for them (other than their SSR book). They may bring their SSR book back and forth to school or choose something else. I have many magazines at school that they may check out.
Have a great weekend!!
