5th Grade News

LA/SS:

• We have had an exciting week! The students made some great connections this week through Mystery Skypes. They were able to put their geography skills to work as they successfully guessed the location of other classes around the world. The students also researched various explorers and were able to present their new information to the class.

Math/Science:

• In Math this week, we began our "Operations with Fractions" unit with some introductory explorations utilizing online fraction manipulative tools. We also wrapped up our "lawn-mowing job" decimals performance assessment and began presenting some of them in class! In Science, we designed our own labs about the different properties of matter, and had the opportunity to test each other's labs and give feedback.
