Weekly Plans 11/10



Last week was another fantastic week in room A212.  We had presentations from students who completed tower enrichment projects.  The details in the projects amazed me, we have some great engineers in grade 5.

We also had our own Kyle representing 5th grade at the St. John's Math Team competition.  We are so proud of Kyle!!  He even showed us how to solve some of the practice problems.

In science we learned how to build a prototype and completed a lab to demonstrate our knowledge.

This week, although it is a short one, will be another great learning experience.

Science - We will complete wholey notes for Lesson 3 on Wednesday.  We will have a Lesson 2/3 Quiz on Friday, students should use their wholey notes from lesson 3 and vocabulary to study.  We should be wrapping up the Engineering Design Process this week with a unit exam some time next week.

Math - We are starting to work with 2 digit divisors in math class.  On Monday, students will have to complete practice side only 5.2 and questions 1-17 on benchmark practice test Topics 1 - 4.  We will be completing the Benchmark Topic 1-4 assessment this week.   This assessment informs me who has mastered the skills in Topics 1 through 4.  Look for practice to come home each night, this should be a review for your child.

Reminders:  Report card envelopes need to be returned.

As always, please feel free to call with any questions.
