A Peek at Next Week

                                             Working on our Science Projects:













A Look at Next Week:
Science/Social Studies- Students will finish presenting their posters representing their research on an element from the Periodic Table.  We will also begin our first Social Studies Unit, Chapter 4:  "Spain Builds an Empire".  We will read Lesson 4.1 "The Voyage of Columbus" and start to take web notes.

ELA
Reading- Students will continue to practice writing reading response answers using our R(restate)A(answer)C(cite evidence)E(explain) strategy.  We will also be looking at the story elements in A Boy Called Slow, and take a selection quiz on that reading on Friday.

Language Arts- Students will look back at their writing and reflect on where they are on the 5th Grade Narrative Writing Checklist/Rubric.  From that they will make writing goals, and chose a topic for their narrative.  In grammar, we will be learning about how to punctuate titles. 

Word Work- Students will will take a Unit 3 Assessment on Wednesday.  Unit 3 word parts: astro, auto, ject, post, spec, and tri.


Math-  Students will be reviewing volume, and beginning to learn various multiplication strategies.
