Reading: Our weekly reading story
this week is The Truth About Austin’s Amazing Bats. We will practice the
reading strategy of drawing conclusions throughout the week. In stations,
students will continue analyzing nonfiction texts and identifying the main idea
in various texts. Students will also be
doing a lot of work with word choice and identifying the just right word using context clues. We will continue to meet for
book clubs on Wednesday and Thursday. Students will be assigned a certain
number of pages to be read each week for book clubs. Students will also be
assigned a response piece that they will need to bring completed to book club
every week. This is something they will response to in their reader’s notebook.
Math: The math test over Unit 12 will
be this coming Friday. We will go over the study guide in class on Thursday to
review for the test. The main concepts on the test will be probability, ratios,
least common multiple, and greatest common factor.
Writing: This week in writing
students will be rotating on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday amongst the
fifth grade teachers. Each teacher will be reviewing a different concept. The
concepts that will be covered are sentence flipping, combining sentences,
appositives, and the types of sentences.
Spelling: Students will have a
spelling test on Thursday over the words for The Truth About Austin’s
Amazing Bats.
