This is a very busy week for 5th grade. With state math assessments and research projects students are spending a lot of time on the computers. Don't worry though, we are still getting some fresh air and exercise!
In math this week ...
Besides being bogged down with state assessments we are also continuing on with math, Unit 10. We will finish up Unit 10 this week when we finish covering slides, flips, and using coordinates on maps. Students will also get a chance to use their new math skills on an art project for math. This should be a fun way to the end stressful math week.
In writing ...
We continue on to Step 3 this week with our research papers. Students are learning the skill of writing an outline and using this to organize their notes, before they begin with the rough draft of their report. We are using the computer program Inspiration to help student learn how to format an outline. The outlines are due Thursday at the end of class. Next we will begin working on our Rough Drafts.
We again took the week off from spelling, but will get back to it next week when assessments are over.
Please don't forget . . .
* Class and Individual Spring Pictures are next Tuesday
* We DO have school next Friday!
