Our first full week is now complete and the students are doing great! We've learned our classroom procedures for the most part and have moved on to school work.
This week we started chapter one in math. So far we covered arrays and factors and the students seem to be picking this up quickly. This week we also played Multiplication Top It on the computer with our whole class. Please encourage your child to play the games on everydaymathonline.com for practice.
In health we discussed mental and emotional health. We'll be testing over this next week on Thursday. A review will be sent home on Wednesday night.
This week in reading we read The Hot and Cold Summer. Students will be using their textbook on their reading test this year. You will also notice that they will be writing page numbers for where they find the answer to each question. Since students have access to the text on ISTEP, we figured they should have access to it on our reading tests. Students must write down the page where they found the answer so we know they are actually attempting to find the correct answer and not guessing.
In S.S. we finished up the Overview chapter and students should begin working on their overview project. Information about this project is being sent home on Friday.
This week will be taking our spelling test using paper and pencil, however, next week we will take it on the computer. Please use spellingcity.com to practice and get a spelling list. All 25 words are listed on spelling city. The lists are listed under Kristi Love. All fifth grade students from Delaware Trail use these lists.
Friday folders are being sent home. Please go through the grade papers with your child. If you have any questions or concerns, please email or call! Have a great weekend!
