OUTDOORS WEEK!

We start this week hot off the heels of our inspirations during our week of arts experiences.  This week, we will focus on outdoor experiences and observations while organizing our notes.  Below you can see the focus we will take in each subject.  Homework is becoming a challenge for many students.  Please know we will have homework assigned every night.

Reading: We will focus on Asking Questions as a reader through carious genres.  In 5th grade, we expect our readers to answer their questions, even with an inference or prediction.

Writing:  We will focus on descriptive phrases and words while completing our I AM poems.  We will apply our writing descriptions knowledge into our scientific descriptions in science.

Math:  Following our first unit test, we will make revisions and students will practice a few skills as needed before starting our next unit, focused on adding and subtracting decimals.  We have already been adding and subtracting decimals in science.

Science: We will continue to organize our community observations while planning our bird feeder experiment.

I will be sending home information about our outdoor field trips for this week which will be bus field trips on Wednesday and Thursday to local parks.
