Division, Division, and More DIVISION

Hello, Parents!

I will start putting in more grades next week, so please make sure you are looking at Parent Connect to see how your student is doing in 5th grade. I hope to have most of the grades in by Friday, November 22nd, so you know what your student is getting on the report card. 

The first part of the Unit 2 Math Test went home today! We are planning to have our Unit 2 Math Test for Lessons 2.9 - 2.13 on Thursday, November 21st. This test will be on Long Division!

Remember, the Biome Shoebox project is due on Monday, November 18th! 

Here are some announcements for next week:
Students need to wear their ID Cards and DOG Tags every day, but they are allowed to keep them at school. This protocol is essential since Maltby is so big that if all students have their cards and tags on them, we can identify them in passing times. 

AR: Students will try to meet their goal of 15 AR points for the Trimester. The AR Test can only be taken at school. Students will also get an AR Comprehension grade, which should be between 80% and 100%.

Late/Absent Work: Students will have homework, and they will have absent work if they are not at school. All homework is written in the planner, and we put our daily work agenda on Google Classroom. If you have yet to go onto Google Classroom, please do so soon so you know what is happening in class. I take 10% off for students who turn in late work since it is not turned in on time. Also, for absent work, students have as many days as they were absent plus one day to complete it. For example, if your student is absent on Monday and returns to school on Tuesday, their absent work will be due on Thursday. 

Planners: Please sign the planner every day!

Math: This week, we worked on Long Division. Please make sure students start reviewing Lessons 2.9 through 2.13 so they are ready for the test on Thursday. I have included the Family Letter for the unit and the answers to the home links in our Google Classroom. Also, if your student is absent, all the lesson videos are on Google Classroom. 

Reading/Writing: Students finished their Narratives and shared them to their peers! The Narratives are on Google Classroom, so feel free to have your student share theirs with you. We are now on to Figurative Language. Students will have class work which are all on Google Classroom. There will be worksheets that students do in class and for HOMEWORK! 

AR: Students also work on reading for AR every day. From now on, students will take their reading binder home and to school every day. Students are also working on Power Up (Lexia) and reading for AR points.
 
Science: Students worked on the Biome Project Food Webs. Please make sure these Food Webs are glue on the back of their Biome box 

Social Studies: Students are learning about the Bills of Rights. 

Homework: Biome Shoebox and packet, Homelink 2.13 and Math Boxes on page 67, Read for 20 minutes and fill out reading log
