Hello 5th grade families!
There will be NO tutoring this week.
English Language Arts (ELA)
Next week in ELA, we will explore the wonderful world of poems. By analyzing the plot, setting, and themes of these poems, students will deepen their understanding of poetic structure and literary elements. Additionally, we will focus on closed syllables to strengthen our skills.
Mathematics
In math, we are expanding our knowledge by adding and subtracting decimals. Students will explore the relationship between decimals and how to add and subtract them correctly.
Science
Our science exploration is focused on Earth’s intricate systems. We will delve into the geosphere (the solid Earth), the biosphere (the living world), the cryosphere (the frozen parts of the planet), the hydrosphere (the water cycle), and the atmosphere (the gaseous envelope surrounding the Earth). By understanding how these systems interact, students will gain a deeper appreciation for the complex and dynamic nature of our home planet.
Thanks!Ms. Kierejewski

English Language Arts (ELA)
Next week in ELA, we will explore the wonderful world of folktales. By analyzing the plot, setting, and themes of these traditional stories, students will deepen their understanding of narrative structure and literary elements. Additionally, we will focus on inflectional endings to strengthen our spelling skills. Our work on our spooky Halloween stories will also continue as students refine their creative writing abilities.
Mathematics
In math, we are expanding our number sense by working on reading, writing, and understanding decimals. Students will explore the relationship between decimals and place value, learning to fluently convert between decimal and standard forms. We will also revisit the concept of powers of ten, building on our previous lessons to solidify our understanding of this important mathematical principle.

Hello Everyone,
This week in math we will be learning about Powers of 10, and how to read, write, and evaluate expressions with exponents. This skill will prepare students for future algebra topics such as factoring and solving quadratic equations. As always, if your student could benefit from extra practice, you will receive an emailed invitation for after school tutoring.
In ELA, we are finishing our study of problem and solution text structure and will test on that skill on Friday. Please continue support of at-home reading for 20 minutes per day!
In science, we are learning all about Earth’s systems (the geosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere) and how they interact to produce the environments we are familiar with.
If you haven’t done so yet, please sign up here for a time to meet with me for Family-Teacher Conferences next Monday, October 14th, and Tuesday, October 15th. Please choose a time that works for both you and your student to attend together. I can’t wait to discuss their progress with you!
Please note that Fall Break is also next week, October 16-18th, and there will be no school. I hope you enjoy that time together!
Warm Regards,
Ms. Kierejewski
