Math: Students can anticipate a test on either Tuesday/Wednesday of next week. A study guide and review session were held last week. Students should be using the online resources for additional practice as well. We will then begin Unit 4 which covers long division.
Writing: Students will be getting back their WEX narrative rubrics back this week. This concludes the Book 1 lessons of WEX. Therefore, through Thanksgiving Break, all 5th grade students will be participating in a poetry unit. We will focus on a variety of poems and creating our own. Students should feel free to bring in their favorite poetry books to share with the class as well.
Reading/Novels: This week we will be doing mini-lessons on monitoring our comprehension using "fix up" strategies. I will model good reading behaviors, students will practice in pairs, and then will have the opportunity to practice the skill independently. For novels, we will continue to switch classrooms, depending on which novel your child is reading.

Social Studies: We will finish learning about the Declaration of Independence & the rest of Unit 12 this week. Students can anticipate a test early next week.
Research in the LMC: This week, we will be starting a unit in which students will be researching controversial current-day topics (such as should uniforms be mandatory, should athletes' grades matter, should schools be co-ed... etc). Students will then research this topic and decide which side research supports. Students will then be researching Revolutionary War figures and which side/perspective they supported during that time (relating current/past perspectives on varying issues). This project will take us through Thanksgiving.
Special Events this week!
Monday 10:15-11:15 LMC research for new project , 2:30-3:30 historical fiction book trailer research
Thursday afternoon (Halloween Festivities!)
Friday 2:35-3:00 Garden Ceremony
