Math- On Monday, Mrs. Toth’s class will take their math test on converting and ordering fractions, decimals and percentages on Monday. Both classes will be working on fraction computation this week. The next math test will be next week.
Science- This week we will be continuing our study of Matter. I am planning on doing the science experiment that was sent home with the fifth grade packets on Friday. I know the kids are looking forward to it! If your child has already completed the experiment, that is okay. I will be doing it for everyone and they can just follow along.
What are we learning next week with Mrs. Toth?
Reading- We will complete activities for the problem/solution and chronological/sequential order text structures this week. Students will have a quiz on Friday. They will be given paragraphs and will be asked to identify the correct text structure utilized by the author in each one. Students will work on their Independent Work Menu which will be posted to this week’s reading folder in Schoology on Tuesday.
English- Students will have the opportunity to work on several fun Valentine’s Day activities this week. We will continue to review skills covered last week as well.
Social Studies- We will have an assessment on the Southeast region on Tuesday, 2/9. To prepare for this assessment, students can study the slideshow provided on their Independent Work Menu last week (slides 1-17). For the remainder of the week, we will continue to explore the physical features, resources, and other unique characteristics of the Southeast region. Students will have a test next Wednesday, Feb. 17th. Study material will be posted later this week.
