5th Grade Overview

January 10 - 16

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

  • Parent Tybee Island Meeting: This meeting will occur at the end of February or early March. This meeting will answer all your questions and you will leave with a packing list. We will keep you informed once the date is set.

  • Middle School Visits: Please try to have all of these visits completed by the end of January so that all students can be back in class for full days.


F&F: We will begin a new unit, Fact & Opinion. Study sheets will be in binders this week. All reading will be done in class for this unit.


English: In ELA, we will conclude our study of nouns with a cumulative test and then move on to verbs. In Writing, we will begin with an introduction to poetry, then personal narratives, then opinion writing, and will conclude with informational text writing.


Math: We will continue Unit 4 covering multiplication and division strategies (mainly review). Homework goes home Monday and is due Friday.  


Science/Social Studies: This week we will be spending time on the causes of World War I and the United States entry into the war. Combined with this we will be learning the countries of present day Europe - their location and some facts about each country.  Each student will be assigned a country that they will be researching and creating a google slide presentation about. This will be done in class and they will present their slide show to the class. This assignment works well with our WWI unit, but also with the upcoming Winter Olympics. 


Spelling: Spelling list 8 and its activity sheet is in binders. The activity sheet is due on Wednesday, January 14. Test 8 will be on January 16.


Bible: Moses and the Israelites are now free in the wilderness. We will be covering God giving the Ten Commandments and the important moments that happened on their journey to the Promised Land. This will take several class sessions.
