Week of January 26-30th

CLASS UPDATE

Reading-5th Grade continues to read Fighting Ground (p.80-120) and our reading skill is Comparing and Contrasting. There will be vocabulary again this week that comes straight from the book where students read the sentence and use context clues to learn the meanings.

Writing-5th Grade is continuing the common core writing lesson on "How To Projects"

In Math 5th Grade will be learning about: Division and multiplication of fractions

History-5th- L4 "The Road to War" Ch. 8 + L5 "Declaring Independence" Chapter 8 test:
Thursday, February 5th.

Heritage Projects are due on February 17th (I gave an extra week because I am sweet)
while Powerpoints using Google Docs are due on February 24th! Let me know if you have ANY questions. I encourage all students to upload photos to their google doc ppt. sooner rather than later.  I demonstrated how to insert graphs using Google "Sheets"(Spreadsheets)into slide shows. They will need to do this with their Ethnicity graph in written AND power point formats. Furthermore, they will do this later in the year when we do our Science Projects.

Valentine's Breakfast-If you would like to help out, please e-mail Gabby Mackle as the big breakfast is Thursday, February 12th. An email will be going home soon with the exciting details! Each child will hopefully donate $5 to cover the costs for a lot of food!

On Valentine's Day you may do treats/cards etc. I will upload the list of names soon.

Our quote of the week is:
"Be the change you want to see in the world." Gandhi
