Fifth Grade News
Welcome to the KINDNESS Cafe
WRITING
In writing, we started our next unit on research-based arguments! We dove into reading argumentative text sets arguing whether or not chocolate milk should be allowed in schools. We are going to develop strong arguments about this topic. Ask your child what they have learned so far!
READING
This week in reading we reviewed the expectations and built stamina so that we can be more productive in our next unit. We also took the iReady assessment.
MATH
We spent this week multiplying a fraction and a whole number. We learned that we were either finding the fraction OF a number or repeating a fraction multiple times. The students learned how to solve the problems concretely using chips, representationally using a tape diagram, as well as abstractly.
