Welcome back!
Important Dates and Information:
We've completed a week of Hybrid Learning! Both Distance Learners and Brick & Mortar students have shown integrity and perseverance in their learning, and we appreciate you sticking with us as we've navigated this latest transitional period.
English Language Arts:
This past week we said goodbye to Mary, Dickon, and Colin as we
finished The Secret Garden. Next week we will review The Secret Garden before
beginning our next Literature text - The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
Math:
Hello 5th grade Spartans!
It was great to see some of your scholars in person, and to have an extended amount of time with them on zoom. This week we came to the end of our second unit in math, meaning next Tuesday we will have our second test. We will have a cumulative review on Monday of what we have learned so far. Then we venture in fractions and what they really mean or represent. Hope everyone has a great weekend, and we will see you all next week!
-Mr. Dorazio
History:
Next week, we will continue our multiple-part unit on the Renaissance with the Medici family and the merchant class of Florence, Italy. We will continue our discussion of the Renaissance by Identifying and explaining the significance of Leonardo da Vinci and Machiavelli.
Science:
This week we worked with color and energy. There were some
musical instruments and flame! Next week we will start to build circuits and
parallel circuits. Distance learners, you may want to have some pipe cleaners
and look for paper lightbulbs and paper batteries that you may want to print
out to play along.
Grammar/Writing:
This week in Grammar we started identifying and using adjectives. Scholars have come up with some creative descriptions of things! Next week we will continue working with analyzing and diagramming adjectives in sentences and composing our own descriptive sentences.
In Writing we will continue improving our summarizing and outlining skills. Our focus will be identifying and accounting for main events in chronological order. We will do this using a passage, then will write our own chronological narrative.
