Welcome Back!

It was so good to see everyone this morning at our parent meeting.  Thank you for taking time out of your day to come learn about 5th grade.

LA: We are loving every minute of our novel study, Percy Jackson and the The Lightning Thief.  We read chapter 3 today together as a group and worked in literature circles to answer the questions orally.  We also concentrated on figurative language examples and character development.

HW: Complete writing out answers to the comprehension questions for chapter 3.  Vocabulary quiz over chapter 3 will be given tomorrow morning.

Math: We worked on factors, factor pairs, and factor rainbows today in class.  This is a great time to brush up on those multiplication facts if they aren't secure quite yet...

HW: Math box and study link 1.3, along with the extra sheet are all due tomorrow at the beginning of class.

Social Studies: (Grannan) We had a really fun day learning about relative vs. absolute location.   We also jumped into chapter 1 and worked on some geography challenge cards with a partner.

HW: None
