Week: January 26 – February 2

Wow— this week started and I forgot to post what we are doing this week.

We are learning:
  • Math: Fractions—multiplying and dividing–but with a twist. The students need to learn the why and practice estimating their answers before they actually do the solving. It is difficult, but we can “Master Up” it will just take some practice.
  • Reading: The students will compare and contrast different sections of literature, example (character, problem, setting, plot)
  • Language: Pronouns (I added this because my students are struggling with grammar, so I am working on guiding them better and hopefully you at home can help too.)
  • Writing: Students will make up their own Tall Tale to explain something factual using fiction fun.
  • Science: Heredity is still on the agenda. Testing will hopefully happen this week.
  • STEM: Designing our patches for “Mission to Mars” I will have groups made and be asking for parent volunteers for each group. I need at least one adult per group and they need to be able to come on April 26 to Weber State for our Final Project.
  • S.S: Still working on the “New Colonies” and Current Event was Google with Personality!

Here are some pictures of the class doing their book shares on January 31… It was great and I will have grades posted on Friday! Thanks so much for your help and support at home!

About angie.young

Hi - My name is Mrs. Young. I am excited to start a new adventure teaching at Quest Academy. I have taught previously in Weber School District in 2, 3, 4, and 6th grades. This will be the start of my 13 year. I also taught in Ogden District, before receiving my Bachelor's of Science, in special education preschool and long term subbing for math in the Jr. High Schools. My hobbies are my family!!! AND singing and acting. I have always loved art and theater. I hope to incorporate art into the technology and science to help our young minds expand to new measures. My family has been part of the education system since I was born. I have always been taught to have a passion for learning and growing. I am very excited to help my students this year to achieve all their goals and never stop fulfilling their passions in life. Welcome to 5th GRADE!!!
