Happy Wednesday!

We have officially made it one week! The kids are settling into the routines of everyday life in fifth grade. We hope the teachers get settled soon :)!
Here is what we did today:

Math: We did Investigation 1 from our book today together in class. We were talking about math stories and how we only need two pieces of the story to solve the problem.

Science: We discussed lesson 2 from chapter 1 about classifying vertebrates. We had a good discussion and the students have a worksheet on what we discussed that is due on Thursday.

Spelling: Workbooks are due tomorrow!

Social Studies: We continued our discussion on maps and the students are to read pages 24-25 in their textbooks

English: We did an activity in class on predicates. Our pen pal letters should be complete by Friday. We also did a paragraph correction worksheet.

Reading: In Mrs. D's class we finished the Earthquake Terror story from our textbook and we worked on pages 5-6 and 7 from our reading workbooks.
In Mr. H's class we read a new story from the textbook Volcanoes on pages 85-98.

Have a great evening!
