Important Reminders:
- As you know, we had Curriculum Night this past Thursday, August 30th. During Curriculum Night, we shared a presentation that has a lot of important information about this year. (Click here for the link.) If you were not able to make it to this event, please take a minute to read through the presentation. If you have any questions, please email your son/daughter's homeroom teacher. We are happy to answer any questions!
Math
This week in math we will continue expanding our multiplication and division abilities! We will be working on multiplying 3 digit numbers by 2 digit number and dividing 4 digit numbers by 2 digit numbers. In multiplication and division we will be focusing on using the traditional algorithm strategies. If you feel that you're learner would benefit from extra practice at home, here is a link to the optional homework for this week.
Science
This week in science we will be exploring the differences between mixtures and solutions. The learners will be participating in several hands on activities that will help them understand the how mixtures and solutions are different.
Social Studies
This week in Social Studies learners will close out their unit on Colonization and begin exploring the causes of the American Revolution.
Reading & Language Arts
In reading this week, the learners will focus on thinking analytically and revising their writing about reading. Through the workshop model, the learners will also participate in beginning of the year fluency & comprehension checks.
In writing, we will review the Six Traits of writing in preparation for our Beginning of the Year Writing Assessment. We will also review how to identify the complete subject and complete predicate of a sentence.

Our 5th graders wrote their own versions of "Where I'm From" poems. Learners then created visual presentations to showcase their poetry. You may access the instructions and rubrics for these assignments in this presentation. The fifth graders will be posting their finished products on this link.
