What's Going on In 5th Grade


Monday, January 25 @ 9:15=5th Grade Class Picture!!  Get your order form in!

Tuesday, January 26, I am out all day.  I will be visiting another school in Newark, Ohio with several other GES teachers.  The sub for the day is a retired 5th grade teacher from GES, so the students won't miss much :)

Friday, January 29=Waiver Day for teacher, so no school for students.

This week the students are working on:

Writing:Finishing up their career research essays (this is actually a Social Studies standard) as well as getting into opinion writing in which they will have to research both sides of an issue and write an argumentative essay supporting one or the other.

Reading: Comparing and contrasting multiple accounts of the same event or topic from different view points. This is basically reading 2 different accounts of the same real event or topic then comparing & contrasting the way they were presented.

Math: Switching gears to Geometry & Measurement.  We are beginning line plots with fractions and graphing using coordinate grids.

Science: Learning about light & sound energies.

Social Studies: Researching the knowledge, skills, & experience required to be successful at a career as well as getting into Economics.

** If you have any questions about the Progress Reports please email/call/text me through Remind.  Conferences are coming up in February so be looking for a sign up sheet within the next few weeks.
