**Dear parents,
I have several people who volunteered to help our room moms but have not had a parent sign up as a room mom. Please consider filling this important leadership role for our classroom.
Remember that on any given day your fifth grader should be able to tell you what we did in school. The planner is a good reminder for them to help with this narrative. The planner should be signed by a parent or guardian every day.
Homework might not always be a worksheet!!!!!
**Students should be working on multiplication facts every night.
**They should be working on Spelling City 10-15 minutes per night Monday – Thursday.
**Students should be reading 20 – 30 minutes each night.
**Moby Max or Khan Academy can be done each night.
Math>
We are currently working on material in Unit 2.
**-This unit addresses three topics: estimation, computational procedures, and data analysis. Algorithms for addition, subtraction, and multiplications are reviewed and extended to decimals. Students also extend their understanding of numbers through an exploration that addresses the differences between millions, billions, and trillions.
**We have reviewed addition, subtraction and multiplication so far. Please make sure your student has a reliable method for accurately solving these types of problems.
Social Studies-
We will continue our study of Unit 2: Three Worlds Meet
**In this unit students study early American History with a focus on the period prior to 1585. Starting with the art of historical thinking, students review the questions historians ask in examining the past. After they reconsider the tools historians use (primary and secondary sources, artifacts), they explore their textbook as a type of secondary source. In doing so, students examine text structures, text features, and the role of informational text in learning about the past. This unit takes a separate examination of life in America, Africa, and Europe in order to set the stage for the convergence of these three worlds in America.
Writing– We will be writing personal narratives from pre-writing to publishing over the next two weeks.
Reading-
*Fiction-We will continue a genre study of historical fiction while we also continue to develop our Daily 5 routine.
*Non-fiction- We will begin working on the skill of identifying the central/main idea in a non-fiction piece.
Grammar – We will be doing a review of the different parts of speech.
Spelling – Please see Spelling City for the current spelling list and activities.
Write your answer to this riddle in your planner. I will be checking them on 10/3 at 8:40.
***What do you use to mend a jack-o-lantern?
hello Mrs. Hickson! I am joseph Sareini’s mom and i’m willing to be a room mom. I asked yousef about the whether or not you said anything and he had nothing to say but “yea she didn’t say anything!”. My number is 313-673-9222 please contact me about anything you need and i’m willing to help.
I thought I emailed you earlier about allowing other moms to take the role for room mom in your classroom. Mrs Knaus’ has no room moms that volunteered so i was going to volunteer in her class.
Hi Mrs. Homayad,
Yes, I believe that Aya A. and Hailey’s moms are the room moms “on the list.”
Thanks,
Mrs. Hickson
