This week students will be introduced to the novel Night of the 

Spadefoot Toads. Chapter 1 will be focused on how readers 

can compare and contrast two or more characters, settings, or 

events in a story. Chapters 2 and 3 will focus on deterring the meaning of words and phrases.

•  Monday:Students will read Chapter 1 as a whole group via Google Hangout. Students will work independently on a set of questions.
• Tuesday: Students will read Chapters 2 and 3. They will write a summary about both Chapters 2 and 3. 
• WednesdayStudents will receive questions about Chapter 2 and 3
• Thursday:Students will discuss Chapters 1,2,3 with the teacher via Google Hangout. 
• Friday: Students will Read a book that has a Science Contents. They will answer a set of related questions about it. 

Topic D Drawing, Analysis, and Classification of Two-Dimensional Shapes

In Topic D, students draw two-dimensional shapes to analyze their attributes and then use those attributes to classify them.  Familiar figures, such as parallelograms, rhombuses, squares, and trapezoids, were defined in earlier grades.  By Grade 4, students gained an understanding of shapes beyond the intuitive level.  Grade 5 extends this understanding through an in-depth analysis of the properties and defining attributes of quadrilaterals.

Lessons in this Topic

 Monday:Lesson 16: Draw trapezoids to clarify their attributes, and define trapezoids based on those attributes.

Tuesday: Lesson 17: Draw parallelograms to clarify their attributes, and define parallelograms based on those attributes.

Wednesday:Lesson 18: Draw rectangles and rhombuses to clarify their attributes, and define rectangles and rhombuses based on those attributes.

Thursday :Lesson 19: Draw kites and squares to clarify their attributes, and define kites and squares based on those attributes. Friday: Lesson 20: Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.

 Tuesday:  Revolutionary War lesson 2

• The Road to War: The students will learn more about Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party and Great Britain Reacts.
• Students will take a quiz about the lesson. 

Students will research about Ocean Ecosystem.

Monday: Slides: 3-4

ThursdaySlides: 6-13

Friday:Slides: 15-21

Quiz on Friday 

Topic C

Area of Rectangular Figures with Fractional Side Lengths

In Topic C, students extend their understanding of area as they use rulers and right angle templates to construct and measure rectangles with fractional side lengths and find their areas.  They apply their extensive knowledge of fraction multiplication to interpret areas of rectangles with fractional side lengths (5.NF.4b) and solve real world problems involving these figures (5.NF.B.6), including reasoning about scaling through contexts in which areas are compared.  Visual models and equations are used to represent the problems through the Read-Draw-Write (RDW) protocol.

Lessons in this Topic

• Standards 5.NF.B.4 | 5.NF.B.4.b | 5.NF.B.6

• Lesson 10: Find the area of rectangles with whole-by-mixed and whole-by-fractional number side lengths by tiling, record by drawing, and relate to fraction multiplication.
• Lesson 11: Find the area of rectangles with mixed-by-mixed and fraction-by-fraction side lengths by tiling, record by drawing, and relate to fraction multiplication.
• Lesson 12: Measure to find the area of rectangles with fractional side lengths.
• Lesson 13: Multiply mixed number factors, and relate to the distributive property and the area model.
• Lesson 14: Solve real-world problems involving area of figures with fractional side lengths using visual models and/or equations.
• Lesson 15: Solve real-world problems involving area of figures with fractional side lengths using visual models and/or equations.

Students are finalizing their Novels. We are on the last chapters. Questions and writing assignments will be assigned per group. This week I decided to Integrate some Science and Social Studies readings. So , everyday there is a book about a specific content that students need to read and answer related questions about it. All work is posted on Google classroom.

Students will continue with their research project. This week will transfer their research into Google slide presentation. All work will be presented and posted on Google Classroom.

This week, Thursday and Friday students will start their new unit about the American Revolution. Lesson one will address the tensions between British and the colonists. We will focus on the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts. Students on Friday will take a quiz about the lesson. Again All assignments will be posted on Google Classroom.
