Math
- We have finished Unit 4 on Multiplying and Dividing Whole Numbers and Decimals. This week we reviewed our learning and took the Unit 4 assessment.
- Next week we will start Unit 5 on Multiplying and Dividing Fractions.
- February Number Corner will focus on finding the area of objects that are measured in fractional parts along with whole numbers. In addition, we will do activities involving converting units in the metric system using milliliters and deciliters
Literacy this week
- This week we finished our work in Module 2 Unit 3 of EL. In this unit, we will be working towards creating a narrative piece of writing based on the animal that we did for our informational writing a few weeks ago.
- We are reading a narrative non-fiction text called The Most Beautiful Roof in the World by Kathryn Lasky.
- We will continue to work on speaking and writing about what we read.
- For our ALL block this week, we engaged in various reading skill activities that include: fluency work, summarizing, discussion, grammar and vocabulary.
- Each classroom is doing a read aloud as well! Ask your 5th grader what book we are using.
Social Studies--Black History Month
- Students selected a book to read with a partner(s) or solo. They chose from some titles we have here at Randall that were written by African American authors. Then, during the weeks of January 26-February 13th, we will be using our science/social studies time for students to just enjoy these rich and beautifully written books. They will also be asked to summarize and then share what they read during our Author's Tea on Friday, February 13th. (A sign up was shared with all the families for families to provide drinks/treats.)
