This week in 5S:
ELA:
Diving deeper into prefixes. We are focusing on prefixes and their
meanings. They will be having a quiz on five prefixes on Friday as well as the past
two weeks’ prefixes. They have been provided with a list as well as flash cards.
They will also we reading and writing during this time. They are focusing on
writing a paragraph starting with a topic sentence, followed by three to four
sentences with details to support the topic, and finally a concluding sentence.
We are also talking about how to use the “SCORE” to help us check our writing is
well done. Students should be reading an independent reading book at least 15
minutes at home. They are asked to finish a RRJ (Reading Response Journal
entry) every MONDAY on a separate piece of paper. The requirements for the RRJ
are posted on the salmon colored paper in their gold folder.
I also have
a class mascot, Ellie the Elephant, and she will be going home with Emma this
weekend. This student will complete a journal entry with all the activities
s/he and Ellie did over the weekend INSTEAD of a RRJ. (They can provide
pictures if they want as well).
Science:
Students are answering the questions “What are some types of
investigations?” and “How do you perform a controlled experiment?” We will be
completing another experiment
Wednesday and Thursday where they will be more independent in caring it out.
Math:
Students will continue to work on Chapter 1 this week, which covers
place value of whole numbers,, properties, exponents, and building
multiplication patterns. There WILL be math homework coming home(evens on
Monday and Wednesday)(odds on Tuesday and Thursday). They should also be
practicing their multiplication facts at home. They should also be bringing
their math notebook home to refer to it to do homework.
