This was a good week in our fifth grade. We have started learning about Ancient Egypt and students are interested in learning about this magnificent civilization. They have worked on creating a timeline of important events in Egyptian history and have worked on reading for important information and taking notes using the Cornell Method.
In Reading, we are comparing and contrasting characters in the Egypt Game as well as going over Story Elements.(setting, characters, plot, theme). In Writing we will be writing informative pieces with the notes gathered in the research about Egypt.
In Math we have continued to work on one digit division and estimation.Practicing multiplication facts will be beneficial when dividing .
Mid term grades have been sent home. Please make sure you sign them and send them back to school.
If you have not done so already, please read about our Thanksgiving lunch and let us know what your child can bring to share on Tuesday.
Volunteers Needed
After the Thanksgiving holiday we would like to organize a hike to La Tigra for our Science Unit on Health and Nutrition. If there are parents who are familiar with the area and trails and would like to guide Fifth grade on the adventure please contact Ms. Nydia or Ms. Linh.
