WEEK 4 - September 10-14th

Class Update
Reading - This week we continue our exciting study of "Nature's Fury" by reading a story about volcanoes. The spelling words can be found at my spelling blog. Simply click on the link ---->

Writing - This week our focus in writing will be in organization and using details to support the main topic when we write about our biggest frustrations.

Social Studies - I posted the study guide last Thursday (click on the link--->) for students to review to prepare for the Explorers Test this Friday. Students are encouraged to bring their books home to study away!

Math - We will begin Chapter 3 in HM focusing on Place Value and expressions. Make sure to study multiplication facts at home. Use the 144 second club link to help

Computers - our 5th grade class is learning how to file-share documents.  This week we also start our Explorer brochures using "Pages". This project incorporates research synthesis, paraphrasing, importing images, using a template and citing our sources.

NEWSTEAMS - Our class will start doing News Teams. Each student will select an article from a newspaper, or online/magazine article to summarize and share with the class. If they get the source online they should print the article. The summary is not due until next Monday, September 17th. The brief speeches will be next week, as well.
