Update for October 29
Dear Parents,
This week on Monday we will be having our 5.1 math quiz on adding & subtracting decimals,
rounding decimals, and showing expanded form. Our 6.1 math quiz will be over ratios,
equivalent ratios, and finding unit rate. On Thursday we will have our Great Depression/Dust Bowl/
New Deal quiz. Our FALL CENTERS will be on Wednesday from 10:15 to 11:05 behind the gym.
Our wonderful room parents have some fun activities planned! In Writing our students will be
working on their flash drafts, then continuing their Informational papers.
We are running a little low on Kleenex if you have the chance to send some in, we'd appreciate
it. :) Thanks in advance for all of your support!

Update for 10/15
Dear
Parents,
In Social Studies, we are finishing up
the Roaring 20’s and Harlem Renaissance and will be exploring the causes and
consequences of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. As part of this unit, we will also be
studying Herbert Hoover’s economic policies and Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s ABC
Soup policies to put Americans back to work.
In Science, we will be beginning our Genetics and Microorganisms units.
In Reading, we will start our new ROAR
groups on October 22nd based on students’ current lexile levels and
will be focused on reading informational texts.
The students are continuing to plan and research for their informational
writing pieces and doing a fantastic job. 😊 It’s so fun to see them inspired and
enthusiastic about Writing!
We will have our first Unit 2 math quizzes in 5.1 on multiplying and dividing by the Powers of
Ten and in 6.1 on Ratios on Monday,
10/22. The current math standards for
Unit 2 are:
5.1 Math standards:
MGSE5NBT.1 Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
MGSE5.NBT.3 Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths. a. Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form, e.g., 347.392 = 3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 7 × 1 + 3 × (1/10) + 9 x (1/100) + 2 ´ (1/1000). b. Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
MGSE5.NBT.4 Use place value understanding to round decimals up to the hundredths place.
MGSE5.NBT.7 Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.
6.1 math standards:
MGSE6.RP.1 Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.
MGSE6.RP.2 Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠ 0 (b not equal to zero), and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship.
MGSE6.RP.3 Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems utilizing strategies such as tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams (bar models), double number line diagrams, and/or equations.
MGSE6.RP.3a Make tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole number measurements, find missing values in tables, and plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios.
MGSE6.RP.3b Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed. MGSE6.RP.3c Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g. 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); given a percent, solve problems involving finding the whole given a part and the part given the whole.
MGSE6.RP.3d Given a conversion factor, use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units within one system of measurement and between two systems of measurements (customary and metric); manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities. For example, given 1 in. = 2.54 cm, how many centimeters are in 6 inches?

Update 9/30
Dear Parents,
We are SO excited for the Rock Eagle overnight trip! Thank you for all your help in making this a successful trip for our students. I will be sending out photos from our trip on Remind so be sure and check them out!
We have finished up our Electricity Unit in Science by creating working circuits in the STEM lab and taking our Electricity quiz. In Social Studies, we are continuing to explore the topics of WWI and U.S. involvement, the Roaring 20's, and the Harlem Renaissance. We have been reading about Jazz Greats like Duke Ellington and "the queen of Scat", Ella Fitzgerald, in our Modeled Read and ROAR. Please send in a poster board with your student by this Thursday, 10/4 since we will wrap up our unit by creating in-class poster projects following the below criteria.
In Math, we have finished up our Powers of Ten unit in 5.1 and our Number System Fluency unit in 6.1. In 5.1, we will begin our Adding & Subtracting with Decimals unit next week. In 6.1, we will begin our Rate, Ration, and Equivalent Fractions unit next week as well.
In Writing, we have been working on Write Score lessons guiding the students in how to write a Constructed Response using two texts which is very similar to what the students will see on the Write Score assessment and also on the Milestones in April. The students did a great job taking notes and answering the prompt about Yellowstone National Park and Everglades National Park last week. This week we will continue to work on constructed responses to informational text.
Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for your support!!

Update for 9/17
Dear Parents,
The Rotary Club will be visiting our 5th grade classes tomorrow to pass out dictionaries and thesauruses which is always such a nice gift. :) On Wednesday, Mr. Funn from the Alliance Theater will be coming for our first Digital Storytelling session! Signed papers will go home this week so please review them with your child, then sign them and turn them back in on Friday.
In Science, we are exploring Electricity (static electricity, circuits. electricity examples in nature, and human-harnessed electrical uses) and will have our first quiz this Friday, 9/21.

In Science, we are exploring Electricity (static electricity, circuits. electricity examples in nature, and human-harnessed electrical uses) and will have our first quiz this Friday, 9/21.
Review Electricity
Concepts for Quiz:
Students
Should Know:
-Static electricity is caused by mixing and rearrangement of positive and negative charges.
-Like charges repel and unlike charges
attract.
-Electricity can only work in a closed circuit.
-If a circuit does not include all of the
necessary components, it is an open circuit and will not work.
- Electricity flows
through some objects (conductors) easily.
-Electricity does not flow through
insulators.
Students
Should Understand: Electricity is the movement of electrons through a closed
circuit.
The relationship
between magnetism and electricity is based on positive and negative charges
attracting and repelling each other.
Students
Should Remember:
-Our investigations of
static electricity.
-How to determine the necessary and
unnecessary components for completing an electric circuit.
-Our investigations of common materials to determine if they
are insulators or conductors of electricity.
In 5.1 math, students will begin to review the Powers of Ten while 6.1 students explore the concepts in dividing fractions.
