small medium large This week’s big events were the Chorus trip to see Les Miserables, a switch in math classes and the beginning of NWEA testing. Announcements: Students will conclude NWEA testing this week and will take the writing prompt. The Citizens of the Week are Mikey and Matt B. The Good Sports of the Week are Jenny and Sam. Great job to all of you! In reading students will begin a new story entitled “Maurice’s Room.” Students will also work on their reading log for their animal fiction books. Students will also get the final project choice sheet for their animal fiction book. In math this week, Mr. Plati’s class will begin looking at fractions, decimals, and percents. Miss Wheeler, Miss Coppens, and Mrs. Walsh’s classes will be starting Unit 2, investigating estimation and different methods of adding and subtracting decimals and whole numbers. In writing this week we will try to get outside and use imagery in nature to write concrete poems. Students will also be preparing for, and taking, the writing prompt. We will be reviewing for the Social Studies test on Wednesday by creating imaginary lands that use all the concepts learned so far this year. In the coming week, fifth graders will begin a new unit on nouns in Spanish. We will learn the names of some common classroom objects, and will begin to look at the concepts of gender, and the use of definite articles. Students will practice the new words and concepts through several communicative in- class activities. We spent more time practicing the alphabet in French. Students would listen to each other and write the letters they heard. We played with punctuation and read the French letters with expression to our classmates. We also added Qu'est-ce que tu aimes? (What do you like?) and Qu'est-ce que tu as? (What do you have?) To our list of questions students are able to ask and answer. On Friday, students completed a sheet matching written French with the English meaning. They are working to recognize familiar words when they see them and to be able to pronounce them correctly. Next week, we will create another dialogue in writing with a partner including more questions and answers in French. Students will then present the dialogue orally in front of the class. ________________________ HW Club will be Tuesday and Wed. this week.
