5th Grade News

Language Arts/Social Studies:


  • This week in language arts, we reviewed cause and effect, and learners evaluated each in their own reading. In social studies, the learners chose an independent project to complete that would give them a chance to show off their colonial knowledge. We look forward to sharing them next week.

Math/Science:

  • This week in math, we continued our unit on fractions. The learners practiced adding and subtracting mixed numbers through multi-step word problems and determined what operation to use by finding keywords that relate to fractions. We also looked at different types of graphs and analyzed how the data sets related to fractions. In science this week, the learners met with their region groups to begin the design of their city's website.  They took all of their prior research for their region and used it to design a city that would withstand in the region of their choice. After wrapping up their websites they will provide feedback on other group members' sites.
