C5 is getting ready to start a new unit on division! This will include dividing by two digit divisors and dividing into decimals. Please visit the folders on edmodo if your child still needs to reassess on a standard. Also, check with your child and make sure they are familiar with their multiplication facts. Resources are on edmodo under the multiplication folder.
ALCOS
9.) Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models. [5-NBT6]
10.) Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method, and explain the reasoning used. [5-NBT7]
Don’t forget about tutoring! Hanson, Ware, and Young’s homerooms can attend on Tuesdays during specials. Klinger and Morris’s homerooms can attend on Thursdays during specials. Please check with your child, or Edmodo, on Mondays to see what skill we are working on during tutoring for the week. REASSESSMENT DAYS ARE NOW ON WEDNESDAYS. Please make sure your learner fills out a re-do form and has it signed by a parent before turning it in to reassess.

Meet our intern
My name is Sarah Walters and I am from Pike Road, Alabama. I’m currently a student from Troy University majoring in Elementary Education, so I am so excited to be your child’s intern until December 2! I live with my parents and younger sister, and I have a precious 4 month old nephew. I love to hang out with my family, friends, watch Netflix, paint, and run!
Science
Welcome to the World of Science!!!! This month we are studying two different standards. ALCOS 5.6 Construct an explanation from evidence to illustrate that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed downward towards the center of Earth. ALCOS 5.7 Design and conduct a test to modify the speed of a falling object due to gravity (e.g., constructing a parachute to keep an attached object from breaking). The students had a wonderful time in demonstrating how gravity affects objects. Please check you child’s science notebook weekly with information that they have learned. Also, if there is anything that you would love to donate to our classroom it would be greatly appreciated. Some of the examples are vegetable oil, salt, sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, rocks, baking soda, small plastic bags, packing peanuts, plastic forks, etc.
P.S. There will be a science assessment on Monday, October 24, 2016 of standards 5.6 and 5.7 that were taught this month on Gravity & Forces. In preparation for this assessment please help your learner by referring to their science notebook, resources, and videos in Edmodo.

history
We are off on another adventure! There are 4 American Indian Cultures that our C5 students will be learning about which are the Northwest, Southwest, Great Plains and Eastern Regions. As for our project content, C5 results have been tallied and over the next few weeks, C5 will be designing and creating projects focusing primarily on the Southeast and the Great Plains American Indian Culture Regions with a high interest in studying the Cherokee and the Cheyenne Tribes. Students have also chosen their area of interests so be on the lookout for items your child may need to develop their projects. Areas of interest include: Food (baking), Play/Skit, Crafts, Life-Size Teepee’s, Games, Technoloy, and 3D project’s. Our focus of learning will be the following: Distinguish differences among major American Indian cultures in North America according to geographic region, natural resources, community organization, economy, and belief systems. (ALCOS 3.0) C5 will also be learning how to locate on a map the American Indian nations according to geographic region. (ALCOS 3.1) Throughout this unit of study, students will be given checkpoints where they will be assessed on what they have been learning. Please refer to Edmodo (log-in with your child’s username and password) to follow along with us for important dates for assessments and resources. I can’t wait to see where our new adventure into the American Indian Cultures leads us!!

C5 is loving their novel study of Wonder! We are finishing up our digital presentations this week on character traits. Our learners have been working hard to identify character traits and provide supporting evidence from the text. Learners are also applying the skill of comparing and contrasting character traits in their digital presentations. Please continue to talk to your child about what they are reading, and ask them questions about Wonder. This week learners have started keeping a digital journal in their Google docs. Every day students will make an entry in their journals based off of the the Warm Up question of the day! This will provide students with the chance to practice their typing, and give them a tool to record their own thoughts! Next week C5 will dive deeper into story elements by examining settings, plots, and themes. Please continue to remind your students of their Wonder reading pages each night! I have started posting the page numbers on edmodo for each night. Thank you for all you do to support your child in their learning!
