Hello Fifth Grade Families,
Here is an update about what we have been doing in class as well as what we have to look forward too. This week students worked hard to complete their informational writing assignments and their mid-module 4 assessments. We also spent the whole week in reading working on what makes a good summary. Next week students will finish their “passion projects” and we will be doing lessons 14-18 in math. We will be starting a special science readers workshop called Science is Alive. We will be building on the work we have been doing in non-fiction, with high interest non-fiction texts. In social studies students are getting into the story of the revolutionary war by becoming characters in colonial Boston. Looking further ahead we will be in module 4 of math until the end of March we are scheduled to take the end of module assessment in the first couple days of April. We will be doing the Science is Alive unit for 3 weeks and then we will be doing unit 8 of the Making Meaning curriculum which focuses on inferencing. After we conclude the passion project assignments next week, we will be diving into argumentative writing using the Lucy Calkins Writing Units of Study. When we finish our social studies unit we will be starting our physical science unit. On March 11th we will be taking a trip to Issaquah Middle school to help prepare students for their transition to middle school next year. Make sure to participate in the Orange Ruler Fundraiser, so our school can get much needed funds and our class can earn really awesome prizes!
