What are we Learning??

Reading: 

We are learning and practicing strategies for reading in the content area.    We also are studying the literary elements and how we can use our knowledge of them to assist us in understanding what we read.

Please take advantage of the Accelerated Reader program.  This program allows students to read books of interest to them on their level. The more you read the more you learn; the more you learn the more you read. Thank you for all your help. 

Writing:  Correct spelling of sight words is a priority, as well as writing in complete 

sentences. We are practicing correct 

grammar and punctuation (including the 

use of commas, quotation marks, hyphens,

etc.). 

We will practice how to edit our own writing and help others edit their writing.

Math:

5th Grade math needs to continue to practice working on order of operations and computing whole numbers in general. Make sure you know your multiplication tables!!

We are beginning our study on fractions. Students will need to know how to convert improper fractions to mixed numbers and mixed numbers to improper fractions, how to perform all the operations with fractions, how to find the fraction of a set, and how to find equivalent fractions.

4th Grade math is finishing their unit on fractions and will begin a unit on using tables and graphs.
