Writing
Students have been working on paragraph writing. Students worked on creating a topic sentence which establishes a main idea, and supporting it. We have looked at other peoples writing as mentor texts and rewrote and fixed them to meet our 5th grade standards. Last class I gave students their informative writing that they did earlier in the year. Students are revising and fixing their old work to show what they have been doing in class. Students need to reread their old writing, redo the brainstorm to check if they are supporting the main idea of each of the paragraphs. This is Due on Friday (tomorrow) or on Monday. I will not accept anything later than that as report cards will be completed just after the break. Spelling Students will have a test tomorrow on 18. Math Students will finish the work sheet from today lessons Science Students need to look at chapter 3 from their science text books. We will have a test next tuesday on the Unit on Matter. It will cover matter, physical and chemical changes, elements, etc... Students MUST read the texts to review, and look at their notes.

Field Trip at Lassiter HS to listen to the Atlanta Symphony will be on Wednesday. I still have several students who have not signed a permission form. I am sending the 4th and final notice tomorrow. Please sign it if you have not done so. Thank you
Congrats to Asiya for making it into the Spelling bee next week. and congrats to Javon for being the alternate if she can not perform. These students were working on 6th grade words and did a great job. BEHAVIOR!!!! I have noticed a decline in behavior in the classroom. I will be calling home this week to talk about behaviors. Please reinforce that it is students responsibility to come to school prepared and ready to work at all times. Monday: Math: adding fractions with unlike denominators. Students must do the odd number problems only. Extra credit ticket if you do all of them. Spelling: Study your words, look up the definition of the word before the spelling change. Students need to not only know how to spell the words, but also need to sart applying them into their writing. Reading: Pick a page from the book Esperanza Rising and create a script of what is happening on that page. Students were introduced to readers theater today. Science: Students must look over pages 130-134. we looked over it today but didnt get to finish talking about elements. |
