From the halls of 5th grade……..

In Reading class, we are using our Scholastic magazines to learn about the sinking of the Titanic! We have been working hard to use evidence from the article to support our conclusions! We are learning to read the text carefully and to use text features such as word boxes, captions, tables, and graphs to help us increase our understanding of an informational text. 

 In Language arts class, we have finished our unit on nouns and diving deeper into verbs. Our final narratives writing pieces were truly a work of art.  Although, we will continue to polish those skills, we will be introduced to opinion and persuasive writing very soon.

In Math class, the fifth grade will be doing plenty of dividing this month.  We will begin dividing by 1-digit divisors and will use partial quotients and estimation to divide by 2-digit divisors.  From there, we will interpret remainders, adjust quotients and work on more problem solving. Practice, practice and more practice with facts will help become better with all we do. 

In religion, we’re focusing on diving deeper into the seven sacraments.  We are discussing what they mean to a Catholic and the actions, words, and sacramentals that are part of each rite.  

In science we are diving deeper into our unit on the universe. We are focusing on why do we have day/night,  years, and seasons, we will also start doing a little research on specific space topics and will be creating a travel brochure about a planet. 

 In social studies, we are wrapping up our unit on geography. We will be attending the Rocky River nature center on October 21, 2019 to learn more about our upcoming unit on Native Americans.  We look forward to learning so much information about Native Americans during our field trip and in our classroom studies.
