5th-grade families,
I hope everyone enjoyed their Fall break, I’m looking forward to hearing all the stories! I can’t thank my amazing 5th-grade families enough for the smooth evacuation drill last week, we did amazing! It isn’t easy for a group of 5th graders to sit in silence for what ended up being about 20 minutes, but my class was amazing! I mistakenly told them they were welcome to awkwardly stare at me the entire time and their little hearts accepted the challenge, we did make the best out of the situation, and having us finish that drill with smiles while still understanding the importance of that drill was a goal, we absolutely achieved.
As for this week, we are tackling 2 math lessons Lesson 10 has us adding decimals (2.314 + 1.652 = 3.966) and lesson 11 has us subtracting them (2.314 – 1.652 = 0.662) we will focus on lining up the decimals and just honing in on those adding and subtracting skills. For ELA we are answering the question “What does it take to put a plan into action?” and making predictions to help compare and contrast different elements of a story. Please see the attachment below for more information.
