It has been a great week in 5th grade! We are so excited about our trip to Sky Ranch next week. Please see below for the list of items to bring.
In math, we started research for some real world experiences. The first one is hosting your own party. We have asked the classes to determine the amount of food they would need to purchase if they hosted a party for their friends. We also started a dream vacation project.
In language arts, we introduced our mentor sentence from the book, "The Day the Crayons Came Home." Learners noticed, labeled, revised, and imitated the mentor sentence. Inspired by the book, we began our project writing letters to first grade from the perspective of a crayon. Learners explored and practiced including voice and detail into their writing.
In science, we are diving deep into our life science unit. We started the week classifying and discussing the characteristics of living and non-living things. Then, we started talking about food chains and food webs.
In social studies, we deepened our understanding of the Westward Expansion and its importance in the context of US History.
