Math

Mrs. H

We will be continuing our study of equations next week.  The students will be showing clear steps in isolating their variable.  We have talked about the steps to find the value of the variable.  The students will apply these steps to addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems.  We will also work with equations with fractional/mixed number coefficients.  Our chapter test will be after our Easter break because we will take two days to review the content.

 

Social Studies

Today in 5B we completed the Interactive Notebook notes and the students corrected any incorrect answers in class. Today in 5A students worked to complete the notes with a partner and these pages will be due tomorrow. Students will have a chance to write in the correct answers in class. The study guide for this Chapter 10 is on Google Classroom and the test is on 4/18. Students will be creating short skits that represent the cartoon metaphor of the Mother/Child (Great Britain/Colonists) for the 6 events that led up to the Revolutionary War. Students will present these skits early next week.

 

Language Arts

Lesson 16 Spelling Quiz will be Thursday, April 18th. I have had many students tell me that they will be away. Please be sure your student comes to see me after school, before they leave, to make sure the quiz is complete before break. This week instead of focusing on our writing we have been practicing for the quiz. This decision was made in hopes of all students being prepared to take the quiz at any point next week, it is also a tricky set of words! Any questions please feel free to e-mail me. Home stretch ’til some time off, hang in there!

 

Reading

Book Club slideshow presentations will begin next week. Students should finish their slides before Monday. On Monday they will have a chance to practice their oral slide presentations. We will enjoy one a day until all groups have presented.

 

Science

Students have read about the planets in our solar system using www.spaceplace.nasa.gov and www.nationalgeographic.com/science/space/. Each student has chosen a planet to research. In class, students will create a pamphlet describing the planet they have chosen.
