Franke/Trede Updates
Mrs. Franke and Mrs. Trede's 5th Grade Class
April 2016
Academics
We will be continuing our human body unit when we return. First, the students will be learning about human growth and development April 4th-8th. Please click here for the HG&D notification letter. Then, they will become a "doctor" and specialize in one of the body systems we have been studying. The students will work with the other specialists to create diagrams and models of their body system and help treat "patients".
Reader's Workshop
In reading, we will be working on enhancing our book recommendations - using our analytical thinking to help provide support for our opinions of what we read. We will then be working on main idea and theme during guided reading.
Writer's Workshop
To kick of the 4th quarter, we will be overviewing some grammar basics and tricks to help ensure our writing makes sense. The students will be doing some creative writing to practice their new learning.
Math
We will continue to be working on converting measurements. The students will be converting customary units and metric units. Then, we will be creating and using tables and graphs to represent patterns. The students will also be creating algebraic expressions to represent a pattern.
