Student Learning
In reading, writing, and social studies, we are continuing our unit on the Civil War.
In math, students have a test on multiplying and dividing fractions. I have encouraged students to use four resources to prepare for the test: Class study guide, the Pearson web site (http://www.pearsonrealize.com/#/) , Study Island, and searching for information on the Internet.
I have included videos below on multiplying and dividing fractions (part of the videos deal with negative numbers. However, students do not need to work with negative numbers).
Students will also need to know how to turn a mixed number into an improper fraction, and make an improper fraction into a mixed number. Tuesday, we will begin a topic on finding the volume of three-dimensional objects.

Study Island
Fifth grade is gearing up for a little friendly competition! We are encouraging students to use an online resource, Study Island, at home to review and practice skills taught at school. Students will have assignments to complete online. If a 70% or higher is scored on an assignment, he will earn a blue ribbon. Blue ribbons will be celebrated weekly in class, and the class that earns the most blue ribbons in the month will be celebrated as well.
Please follow these steps to begin the competition!
Step 1: go to www.studyisland.com and click the blue login button on the top right
Step 2: Enter the username and password.
username: your child’s first initial and last name @ce (ex. eoakes@ce)
password: your child’s lunch number
Step 3: Click on “5th grade 2014-2015”
Step 4: Click on an assignment and begin earning those blue ribbons!
Teachers will be able to access a report to view those blue ribbons! Good luck!
