MEAP Mania begins tomorrow! You should have received a note home today regarding
the MEAP test. Please read it
through carefully and let me know if you have questions.
Conference Slips – conferences have been scheduled and
confirmation notices were sent home on Friday. Please return them as soon as possible.
Writing – In writing, students are working on persuasive
pieces, which will also be used as a speaking assignment. Each child has chosen a fruit or
vegetable to try to get their classmates to vote for. I am hoping these speeches and the voting will all take
place on Thursday of this week.
Some students have asked if they may bring in their fruit/veggie for
classmates to try and the answer is YES!!
Math – Please, please, please keep practicing the
multiplication and division facts at home! During our RTI time our goal is to get everyone to fluently
multiply two digit by two digit numbers and divide a triple digit by a single
digit. Our fifth grade math
lessons are about reading charts, tables, and graphs.
Reading – Together we are reading the book titled “Guests”
by Michael Dorris.
Social Studies – We are learning about the American Indian
Cultures on the North American continent prior to the Europeans arrival.
Have a great
week!
