Recent Happenings
Science:
We are continuing with our "Energy" unit. This week, we will be conducting a butter experiment to test which materials conduct heat the most efficiently.
WEX:
We are continuing with Book 3 by creating new characters and coming up with new mundane situations for that character to be involved in. The purpose of this is to practice fully creating a character and developing in great detail how they would act in everyday situations! Students have been doing a great job!
Reading:
5-4 is continuing with Mixed-Up Files this week. We will be reading chapters 5 & 6.
Vocabulary/Spelling:
Vocabulary and spelling are an important part of our novel study. There are a lot of vocabulary words for this book, and it is important to learn what they mean and be able to apply them in our writing. Make sure you are practicing these at home!
Math:
Fifth-grade math will have their Unit 9 Test today. Unit 11 will begin on Thursday. We are doing Unit 11 before Unit 10 because the topics in Unit 11 are more sequential to the unit we just completed. Unit 11 will be focused on volume, which we have addressed in Unit 9.
