A Week in Review
May 5 - 9
Happy Mother's Day weekend! We enjoyed another great week in 5th grade! We took our first MSP test this week, Math. I'm so proud of the students and their hard work! They were focused during the test and did their BEST work!
Virtue Awards:
Madison has earned a Virtue Award for demonstrating the virtues of enthusiasm and joyfulness. Madison's positive attitude and willingness to help her classmates makes our classroom a brighter place!
Reading:
Our main selection in Journeys this week was a nonfiction article, "Animals on the Move". Our target skill was text and graphic features and our target strategy was visualizing. We used the article to practice these skills/strategies and deepen our reading comprehension.
Writing:
Students completed their final drafts of their persuasive essays, "What is the best pet?". All essays will be returned with feedback and students will use this feedback as they work on their final writing assessment of the year, writing a persuasive essay about the Patriots and Loyalists.
Math:
We wrapped up Unit 8: Algebra, Functions, and Graphs! We worked with function tables - identifying the rule, writing it in words, and as an algebraic equation. We took a practice test and the end-of-unit assessment is on Monday!
Science:
Due to play practice and MSP testing, we did not have Science this week! Ms. Keenan and our students will pick back up next week.
Social Studies:
The 5th grade play was the center of our attention this week as we rehearsed songs and watched a rehearsal. The songs align with our units of study and are solidifying our learning about the founding of our country.
Thanks for another great week of learning! I am grateful for the appreciation you all showed me this week. It was a fantastic Teacher Appreciation Week - my absolute favorite day being NOTE DAY! The students' heartfelt letters were really special and warmed my heart. Thank you for sharing your children with me each and every day. I am truly blessed to call this my job.
To all you wonderful, fabulous, amazing mom's out there - may your weekend be filled with pampering, relaxation, and many heart melting moments.
Happy Mother's Day!
Go Seahawks!
