Franke/deLeon Updates
Mrs. Franke and Mrs. deLeon's 5th Grade Class - Room 17
September
What's Happening in F.L.F.F.G. (Franke and deLeon's Fantastic Fifth Grade)?
Academics
We are getting into the routine of our workshop - having interactive read alouds, mini-lessons, and independent reading time. Every student needs to have a "just right book" with them in class every day. The students have chosen their first book, ask your child what their September "just right book" is! Please make sure your student is reading at home every night. In 5th grade, we would like them to be reading 30 minutes every night
Writer's Workshop
The student's are "planting seeds" for their writing by gathering ideas: making lists, webs, drawing, collecting artifacts, etc. We will begin to work on personal narratives and memoirs soon.
Math
The students are beginning to work with multiples, factors, primes, composites, and squares. They are solving number puzzles using these concepts. We will begin math stations next week where we will be differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all the students in our class. Soon we will begin working on prime factorization and 2 by 2 multiplication and division.
Science
The students have been learning about the scientific method. We will have a quiz on Friday. We will then use what we know about the scientific method to solve a mystery of a pond that seems a bit peculiar.
Extras
We will be taking our Reading MAPS test on Tuesday (9/15) at 10:00.
Chromebooks
All students are expected to come to school with their chromebook FULLY charged. Please make sure your child has found a "safe spot" to charge their chromebook and that they are transporting their chromebook safely.
