1920's Day! - 5th grade will be participating in 1920's day on October 31st, HALLOWEEN! On this day, we dress up in 1920's attire and we travel through time to learn about silent movies, baseball, aviation, the assembly line, Jazz, the Harlem Renaissance, and more! A sign up for volunteers and supplies will be coming out on Tuesday. October 22-26 will be our IOWA Test. This is a norm referenced test and there is no "real way" for students to study or prepare for the test. It will cover 5th grade skills in order to provide teachers with information on what the students can do to guide our instructional planning.
Curriculum Updates Blue Math- We have been working on 5th grade unit 3. In this unit, we cover multiplying and dividing decimals. We learn how to show this in a model as well as use the standard algorithm. This unit can be difficult for students so please make sure students are completing their homework and practicing nightly! Our test over this unit has been moved to November 1st (due to IOWA). Yellow Math- We have been working on 6th grade unit 3. This unit covers algebraic expressions. Students will need to know important vocabulary that goes with algebraic expressions (constant, term, coefficient, etc.) We will also review and master the order of operations (PEMDAS). Students will also use math properties to simplify algebraic expressions (associative, commutative, identity, inverse). Lastly, we will learn how to translate expressions and create expressions based on solving a given word problem. Our test over this unit is tentative for November 1st. Social Studies- We have started learning about World War I. In this unit, we will learn about how WWI started, new technology that impacted the war, and how the war ended. We will also learn about America during the 1920's. We will test over this unit on November 2nd.
