Mrs Turek's Fifth Grade: This Week in Room 34!

This week in room 34! 9.7-9.11

I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing three day weekend. I would like to thank all the parents that were able to come to Curriculum Night! If you were not able to attend, your child should have brought a yellow sheet, The ABC's of our Classroom. I have attached it as well.

Here is what to expect this week in 5th grade...

Science- We are continuing to work hard during our first unit as scientists. This week will be participating in an evaporation investigation and a paper towel investigation. Our focus is to become familiar with the scientific method while using our scientific notebook to predict, record, and analyze our data.

Reading- I am so proud at the determination each student is bringing to our class challenge to read more than ever! We will continues to focus on the quality of our reading by using our metacognition (thinking about our thinking) to go deeper into our books. This week we will aim at noticing story elements, carrying our thinking in the text as we read on, considering perspective, and learning to think analytical!

Math- We are finishing our last lessons on place value with comparing and ordering whole numbers and decimals. We will also be preparing for our first test next Tuesday, September 15th. For a review, your child can always do the even problems from their homework pages or the practice pages within the lesson.

Social Studies- We will begin our station work with social studies this week. We will also have library and our fist visit from Mrs. Critchlow, our school councilor during this time.
