A Week in Review
March 3 - 7
Happy Friday! It's hard to believe that middle school registration is upon us. The assistant principals and counselors from Chinook Middle School visited each 5th grade classroom on Thursday afternoon. Your student received a registration packet with instructions for which forms are due on what day. Three forms (2 pink and 1 gold) are due next Thursday 3/13 to me, if they are not turned in on this date, you will have to take them to Ringdall.
Virtue Awards:
Serene has earned a Virtue Award for demonstrating the virtues of responsibility and diligence. Serene completes all of her assignments in a timely manner and with quality work. Keep up the good work!
Reading:
Our main selection in Journeys this week was They Called Her Molly Pitcher by Anne Rockwell. It was a narrative nonfiction text that aligned with our Social Studies curriculum, as it took place during the Revolutionary War. Our target skill was drawing conclusions and making generalizations and our target strategy was analyzing and evaluating text.
Writing:
In grammar this week, our focus was on regular and irregular verbs. Students worked to recognize the difference, as well as identify them in a sentence.
Math:
We worked on 2-digit times 2-digit multiplication and 3-digit times 3-digit multiplication. Students worked to understand the algorithm and we used the Rectangle Method to explain it.
Social Studies:
Social Studies was cut short this week with our many special events, but we will start back up next week!
Science:
There were two science assessments this week! Students conducted an experiment to answer the investigative question "How does changing the substance from salt to citric acid affect the mass of solute that dissolves to form a saturated solution?" and then they took another assessment where they demonstrated their ability to write a scientific procedure. We also had a guest speaker from the City of Bellevue present on the importance of scooping our pet's waste!
We ended the week with the talent show and of course our Medina students ROCKED it! So many talented kids, it was a fantastic way to end the week!
Have a great weekend!
Go Seahawks!
