LOOKING AHEAD

It was great to meet with families last week.  Ms. Sweeny and I have come away with helpful ideas for this last trimester of 5th grade.  I think we all know it will fly by!  We also know there will be a ot to enjoy in our last three months.

In reading, we will finish our Ecodioramas this week.  Students have made plot connections to ecological elements of their setting and they are now creating a scene form their book to share as a book share.  Their scene will include their plot connections and nonfiction facts which they are researching this week.

In writing, we will draft our researched based opinion articles and start the revision process.

Students will complete their learning of the American Revolution this week.  We will have a day to study before a final assessment on this topic next week.

Students will complete our moon activities too.  We will have a day to review before a moon phase assessment next week.  On Tuesday we will collect more data on our plants.
