Week of May 2-6

Our newest Leader of the Week is…

Lydia!!

       Lydia was chosen as our Leader of the Week for her dedication and hard work in 5^th grade! She always puts first things first by making sure she does her work to the best of her ability before moving on to other activities. She also begins her writing with the end in mind. When she knows she only has 1 page to explain her thinking, she writes neatly and carefully in order to allow for enough room to express all of her thoughts. Lydia is also a pro at thinking win-win and synergizing! She is friendly and easy to work with! Great job, Lydia!

Here’s what we’re learning about this week!

Science:  During science this week we will continue learning about the human footprint and we will engage in a project-based learning activity to find ways to reduce our human footprint on the world.

Social Studies: This week we will rotate through student-created learning stations to gather information about various social studies topics from government to Native Americans to Westward Expansion. The kids are excited to share their research and planned learning activities!

Math: It’s time to review what we’ve learned about measurement in preparation for our test this Friday. This week we will be reviewing area, perimeter, volume, and interpreting line plots. A study guide came home today. Please have your child complete it and return it by Wednesday.

Reading: During reading this week I will be administering DRAs and the kids will also have the opportunity to engage in their own personal reading followed by written reflections.

Writing:  The kids have been working so hard on their personal narratives and they’re so interesting to read! Our writing task this week will be to finish, edit, and revise personal narratives.
