5TH GRADE GAZETTE
WEEK OF MARCH 2ND – MARCH 6TH
ELA with Miss Jeffers: Happy Read Across America Week! We will be completing some Dr. Seuss themed activities throughout the week to celebrate. In writing, we are going to focus on writing two complete paragraphs about one topic. Each paragraph will contain a topic sentence, a minimum of three details, and also a closing sentence. Along with writing the paragraphs, students will be editing and revising their paragraphs as well. We have been learning a lot about nouns and are going to spend the week reviewing the different types of nouns. The Personal Narrative Train is still in motion and we are starting to approach the ending station. Students will be conferencing with teachers and also each other on the sections that they have written.
Homework: Read for 15-20 minutes every night.
Math with Mr. Giuliano: No Topic test! We will have two quizzes on Monday and Tuesday. Monday is on adding and subtracting fractions. Tuesday is adding and subtracting mixed numbers. We will begin multiplying fractions next. Homework on Wednesday and Thursday!
Science/Social Studies with Mrs. Baaki: Another science week! 5th grade will work on their “saving water sources” flyer. We will continue to learn about ways the hydrosphere affects other Earth systems by processes like erosion and deposition. Home work will be a lesson review on the hydrosphere from our Unit 3 workbook. We will then begin focusing on the geosphere. Homework will be a lesson review about the geosphere from our workbook. We will continue with our Scientist of the Week program!
Religion with Mrs. Jackson: Next week we will be spending time reviewing going to confession. They will do an examination of conscience to become aware of their sins. We are reviewing this because on Monday, March 9th after mass the students will be going to confession. We will also finish up Chapter 7 which will include the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and learn about St. Katherine Drexel.
