Can you believe we’re only two weeks from track-out? Where in the world did the time go?
This means that we have Case 21 coming up! As 5th graders, the students will be taking a Language Arts Case 21 assessment, a Math Case 21 assessment, AND a Science Case 21 assessment.
Language Arts: Tuesday, Sep 23
Math: Wednesday Sep 24
Science: Thursday, Sep 25
So this week will be us finishing up multiplying and dividing decimals, and then we’ll be doing some review. Today the students made a list of the skills they are mastering in mathematics and whether or not they believe they have mastered them.
In math, students have three problems to work on:
48.12 x 98
75.5 x 25
1.3 x 2.5
Students should do these as area models!
In Language Arts, we are done with our sneakers stories. We will print these tomorrow, so if it’s not completed as of this moment, I would be worried, and get that done asap.
Tonight for homework, students have a short story to read in their motivation reading books on pages 147 and 148.
They then should answer the first three questions about this selection on page 151 of their motivation reading book. These should come with reasoning!
In Science, we spent a bit more time researching our biomes, and students tonight should finish their brochure rough draft pages 4, 5, and 6.
If you’ve forgotten what goes on those pages, here it is again:
We saw some blossoms on a few of our cucumber plants today! mmmmmm….cucumbers!
so, tl;dr
read pages 147-148 in motivation reading, do problems 1-3 on page 151 WITH REASONING
three math problems (area models!)
48.12 x 98
75.50 x 25
1.3 x 2.5
finally, page 4,5, and 6 of their biome brochure rough draft!
Sneaker stories due tomorrow!
Have a good one,
