It's going to be a VERY busy week!  Our party is Tuesday.  Both Thursday and Friday are half days.

In Math, we will be working on Co-ordinate grids.

In Writing, we will write a holiday narrative to accompany our grids.

In Reading, we will continue to read our WWII books!!!

There will not be much time for Science and Social Studies this week!  We will finish our movie on the Great Depressions, and review our EOU test from Social Studies.

Read to submit your name as a chaperone for the BIG 5th grade field trip in the spring.

We are planning for the March field trip to Atlanta!!!  I need 10 chaperones!  I'm pretty sure I will have more than 10 parents volunteer, so I've devised a PLAN!!!  Please send me an email asking to chaperone, with CHAPERONE as the subject (Please do not directly reply to this email.)  I will then place your name in a fishbowl, and the children will draw names in class.  These names are due before the Holiday break!

Khan Academy

 

Reading

I am LOVING our new WWII books!  We need to discuss what type of projects we will complete when we finish these books.  All groups will need to examine: plot structure, characters, and theme of their book.  We will be using digital platforms like Canva and Pictochart to make our projects.  Be ready with your own accounts!  They should be free.  If you have any difficulty setting up an account, please let me know!

Writing/ELA

The Wordly Wise Test over unit 4 is Tuesday (You should have your packet to study!  If you are running holiday errands and do not have it, use the Quizlet link on Edmodo!)

Grammar-  We've covered Conjunctions, and I think we understand these very well!  But, you can easily review by going back through the ppt on Edmodo.   We are moving on to prepositions!  I've posted that ppt as well, but we will cover it in class.  (You should already have the notes for prepositions.)

Writing- We will discuss how to print our Roaring 20s Biographies for those who have not printed/submitted them.  (These should be finished.)  In class our writing will be in response to literature!  All our writing is focused on our books this week!!!  (I know you will enjoy this!)

Social Studies

We won't be finished with this unit before the break, so we are going to split the test into two parts.  Before the break (Wednesday) we will take the test over The Great Depression, and The Dust Bowl content. This test is over newspapers 12,13,and 14.  I have 12 and 13 to grade the crosswords.  Both will be returned to you Monday.  Some Crosswords for 12 were not complete!  Please be sure to complete these and turn them in Wednesday with the test for full credit.   The notes and the study materials will all be posted on Edmodo.  We've covered in great depth, so I do not believe these will be difficult for you, BUT, do review!
