Hi Everyone,
It was great meeting everyone last week at Back To School Night. I hope you will find the informational packets we sent home helpful. If you have any difficulties accessing any 5th grade online curricula please let me know.
In ELA we have been writing personal narratives that fall under the heading, "A Focused Moment in Time." The children have been evaluating their own writing based on a narrative writing rubric and making revisions based on their own personal evaluations of their work. Final copies of these stories are being published in their ELA folders on their google drives. Our work in reading has focused on the elements of fiction: plot, character, setting and theme. We have completed Daybook lessons on these elements and applied our understanding of these concepts by identifying these elements in our independent reading notebooks.
In math we are currently working on Topic 2 of our enVision Math Program- Adding and Subtracting Decimals. An important skill in this topic is "rounding" and it is part of my instructional focus on a daily basis. A letter about the new math topic was sent home today.
Our science work is focused on learning to classify objects and living organisms based on their physical traits. We are writing "Is It Alive" stories. Finished stories are being published in student science folders on their google drives.
