Sept 9th – 13th
Yet another great week! I hope your child is enjoying their time in our classroom as much as I am. I have loved starting our in-class read-aloud book and the suspense of the videos that go along with it! Our 5th-grade family is coming together fast!
As mentioned previously, I will start math tutoring this week after school from 3:15-3:45 pm. Tutoring will be each week on Mondays and Wednesdays after school. I will send an email each week if your student could benefit from the topic we are covering in tutoring that week. Tutoring is used to help students with previously taught standards and those students who have been absent.
This week in math, we will begin lesson 4, where students will be introduced to the standard algorithm for multiplication. This is a big math standard for 5th grade. We will spend a week on multiplication, a week on division, and then a week reviewing. The good news is that the standard algorithm is the method we grew up with, so parents feel free to dive into math with your student.
In ELA, we will discuss how we can re-read to compare characters, settings, or events in a story, drawing on specific details in the text. We will discuss the genre of realistic fiction and words with the “u” sound.
Important reminders:
- Cookie Dough Fundraiser starts Sept 16th.
- Book Fair Sept 23rd – 27th.
- Dollar Dress Down Sept 27th.
As always thank you for your continued support!
Ms. Beal
