Welcome back!
Reminders:
Quarter 1 ended this week! Electronic report cards will be sent to you today (Friday, Oct. 16).
Fall Break is next week! No school Monday-Friday, Oct. 19-23. We hope you enjoy a restful, rejuvenating week!
English Language Arts:
This week, we started reading The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and
began our journey with Lucy, Edmund, Reepicheep, and many others. After the
Fall break, we will continue our reading to see where the sea voyage takes us.
This week for Poetry, we concluded our practice of Sonnet 29 and held our
recitations. After the Fall Break, we will begin our next poem: The Bells by
Edgar Allan Poe.
Math:
Hello 5th Grade Spartans!
We have been working with fractions all week and I am very impressed with what I have seen! Upon our return from break we will be delving more into different operations with fractions, specifically division. Have a great Fall Break!
Sincerely,
Mr. Dorazio
History:
We've finished our unit on the Renaissance. After the break, we'll begin looking at the Reformation and its effects on society and industry.
Science:
This week we finished up studying pendula (plural form of
pendulum) and celebrated all the wonderful things we learned this second half
of the first quarter. Starting up on Monday October 26, we are turning to living things and how they interact with their environment.
Grammar/Writing:
In Grammar, we've finished our focus on direct objects, but they'll keep showing up in our sentences! After the break, we'll begin working with different types of predicates, starting with predicate nominatives.
In Writing, we'll begin doing some more personal writing to practice descriptions. Your student should start thinking about some of their favorite things; we're going to be brainstorming, describing, and writing all about them!
