Welcome back!
English Language Arts:
This week we solved the Mystery of the Blue Carbuncle with Sherlock
Holmes and next week we will be starting a sea voyage with some new and old
friends in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
Poetry: Next week is our last week with our current poem, Sonnet
29. Next week our recitation will be on October 16th. We will begin The Bells
by Edgar Allen Poe after Fall break.
Math:
Hello 5th grade Spartans,
Next week in math we will be working with mixed numbers and how to add and subtract them. We will also be looking at what a fraction means in relation to a whole and how to determine that fraction in respect to more than one whole number.
Sincerely,
Mr. Dorazio
History:
In History this week --- We will continue our unit on the Renaissance with a lesson over one of the most famous Renaissance writers, William Shakespeare. Later in the week, we will have a unit review followed by a short Story Board project.
Science:
This week we introduced pendulums and started exploring how
they work. The next step will be to test different variables to see what will
affect the number of cycles. We also have a science test approaching, so
prepare any questions you have for your teacher and ask them during small group
times!
Grammar/Writing:
In Grammar this week we were reintroduced to Predicate Verbs and Direct Objects, which we'll keep working with next week.
In Writing, we've seen chronological narratives of past events and of scientific discoveries, and next week we will write our own.
