What We Are Learning

ELA:

Students will write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly. Students will introduce a topic clearly, provide a general observation and focus, and group related information logically; include formatting (e.g., headings), illustrations, and multimedia when useful to aiding comprehension. In addition develop the topic with facts, definitions, concrete details, quotations, or other information and examples related to the topic.

Reading:

Students will work on drawing on information from multiple print or digital sources, demonstrating the ability to locate an answer to a question quickly or to solve a problem efficiently.

Social Studies:

Students will describe the cultural developments and individual contributions in the 1920s of the Jazz Age (Louis Armstrong), the Harlem Renaissance (Langston Hughes), baseball (Babe Ruth), the automobile (Henry Ford), and transatlantic flight (Charles Lindbergh).

What We Are Learning

Math:

This week we are finishing up our decimals unit and starting our fractions unit, which will begin with adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators (a.k.a. the bottom number). In 4th grade, students added fractions with the same denominator and learned how to make equivalent fractions. In 5th grade, students put those skills together and use equivalent fractions to add and subtract fractions with different denominators.

On Wednesday, students will have a decimals assessment (Unit 1). They should use their books to review.

Science:

This week we are finishing up our electricity unit and then beginning our magnetism unit.

We will have an assessment over electricity on Friday. Students may use their electricity quiz study guides to review for the assessment. An extra copy of the study guide is in Google Classroom.

Social Studies:

Students will describe the cultural developments and individual contributions in the 1920s of the Jazz Age (Louis Armstrong), the Harlem Renaissance (Langston Hughes), baseball (Babe Ruth), the automobile (Henry Ford), and transatlantic flight (Charles Lindbergh).
