We are back in the swing of things at Langston Hughes! I will be using my blog again this year, as will the other 5th grade teachers. We will give out those addresses at Back to School Night, August 26.
This Week in Math ...
Monday we will be finishing up our TIMS lab from last week. We will also be reviewing averages of mean, median, and mode.
Tuesday - Friday we will read a story from the Adventure Book about sampling populations and begin a TIMS lab that will run through Friday.
DPP (Daily Practice Problems)- Have been handed out in packet form for the unit. Students are expected to work on these packets in their own time (free time, study hall, or as homework). The packets are due Friday, August 21.
Our first unit will conclude next week. The test will be on Tuesday. Students should be studying their vocabulary words for the unit. These words were glued into their math notebooks on the first day of class.
This week in Writing ....
Students have started a writing project called "The Life and Times of ..." Students were paired with a partner to interview them about their life and then write about the student. Students will finish up interviews on Monday and begin rough drafts and editing through out the week. Final copies are due on Friday.
* Book Orders were sent home Friday. They are due Friday, August 21, if you chose to order. Ordering is optional! Make out one check to Scholastic.
Looking foward to seeing you all at Back to School Night!
