August Monthly Report

8/31/2021

0 Comments

 
Dear 5th-grade families,
Here is a recap of the things we did in August and a look ahead to what we will be doing in September:
  • Math: Students have set up their new Reveal Math accounts along with their extra practice online games, Prodigy and Sumdog. Please have them log in at home for extra practice if you would like. Students are finishing up their 'Get to Know You' math posters and will hang them up in the classroom later this week. Beginning in September, we will be working on the problem-solving processes involved in finding patterns and relationships among quantities and values. Later on in the month, we will be focusing on volume.
  • Literacy: Students have been slowly introduced to their classroom reading folders, homework folders, and weekly expectations. This year, students will be expected to read at home for 30 minutes a night while completing weekly tasks such as a spelling test, 4 pages of grammar homework, tracking interesting words, and completing AR tests. In September, we will be working on writing book reports and beginning our class read-aloud, Blue Crowne: A Greenglass House Story by Kate Milford.
  • Science: Students have created an interactive science notebook and are beginning to learn how to utilize them in class. Students have been learning the importance of note taking and reflection in science. In September, students will complete hands-on investigations that have to do with the phenomena of matter and its interactions in our everyday life—mixtures, solutions, solubility, concentration, and chemical reactions. The driving question to our investigations will be what is matter and what happens when samples of matter interact?
  • Social Studies: With Mr. D, Students have started studying the Inca. In September, students will be working on a poster project that answer 12 questions about the Inca.
  • Bible: Students have been discovering the ways in which God shows Himself through Creation, design in nature, and in people’s consciences through worksheets, discussions and small group activities. In September, students will begin a chronological survey of the Old Testament that focuses on a number of Bible characters, starting with Cain and Abel.
  • SEL: Students have been introduced to our new SEL workbook called Friendzy. This month, the unit's catchphrase is "We need each other." Students will learn how to build each other up and encourage one another. In September, students will focus on a unit entitled "Being loving at all times”. Students will learn how to show God’s love to all people, especially when it feels most difficult.
  • Writing: Students have begun to learn techniques for editing and raising the level of narrative writing. In September, they will be working their way through the writing process to write their own personal narratives. Students will complete their narratives by typing them and submitting them through Google Docs.
  • Makerspace: Students have been introduced to the concept of a makerspace or passion project and have been shown sample projects from students in previous years. In September, they will be working on exploring and developing an idea for a hands-on project where they will have to solve a real world problem and demonstrate mastery. Later in the month, students will be introduced to the basics of Scratch block coding.
