5TH GRADE GAZETTE
WEEK OF DECEMBER 1ST – DECEMBER 5TH
ELA with Miss Jeffers: Since we finished reading Wonder last week, it is time to watch the movie! The students will be comparing and contrasting the book and the movie. Their Wonder project is due on December 5th. The Personal Narrative Writing will be busy this week! We will review our introduction and beginning to our narrative. Next, we will move into the Middle Section! The middle section is the best part because it is the “meat” of the story! We will learn how to add transitions to our narrative to help it flow together. In Grammar, we learn about subjects, predicates, and also commas. In Spelling, our focus will be on long a vowel words.
Homework: Read for 15-20 minutes every night.
Math with Mr. Giuliano: Finishing up Topic 5. Test on Thursday! Please go over the practice test on Wednesday night (it really does help). Homework Monday and Tuesday with studying on Wednesday.
Science/Social Studies with Mrs. Baaki: We will continue working on Unit 2: Ecosystems. Homework will be lesson 2 review on the interactions of living things. We will begin lesson 3 in class this week discussing the role of decomposers. We will continue our Scientist of the Week presentations.
Religion with Mrs. Jackson: Last week the students enjoyed a fun left/right Thanksgiving story and the winner received a sticker. This week we will talk about how we must be permanently praising God and use permanent markers. Next week we will of course be starting advent and be talking about the meaning of advent and how it is the beginning of the liturgical year. Have a great Thanksgiving.
