This Week in Room 33! Jan. 22-26


Here's what to expect this week in 5th grade-

***Early Release is this Wed! We will meet with our Buddies- students should wear their t-shirts!

Science- We are beginning a new unit on the properties of matter and chemistry!

Math- This week we are rounding fractions and adding/subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators. 

Writing- In our literary essay unit, students will work to make a strong thesis statement about their chosen excerpt from their fantasy book club book and begin collecting evidence such as quotes and an analysis of author's craft. We will also work on our introductions and conclusions before we edit and publish next week!

Reading- As we continue our fantasy book club unit, we will focus on learning real-life lessons from our characters, noticing how their quests can be internal as well as external, and compare themes in fantasy and history.

Social Studies- We are continuing to discuss and experience the Civil War.
