This week in 5th grade...
we are sending home a pink letter in Friday Folders about upcoming field trips. Please make sure you read over that letter -- this letter is a request for the funds for three our remaining field trips: WILLIAMSBURG (which is a 12-hour long field trip where students ride commercial buses down to the historic city, enjoy guided tours, and have lunch at a tavern), Brass Rubbings (an in-house workshop where students explore historical figures who helped in the exploration and discovery of America), and a Jamestown Outreach. The total cost of these three experiences is $72.00. We are asking for the money by Wednesday, Oct. 22.
In Science we are... continuing to explore what makes up matter around us! Students will learn the four main parts of an atom -- protons, neutrons = nucleus, and the electrons. Students will also become familiar with The Periodic Table of the Elements and what information can be found in that resource. Students will be introduced to their first research project in Science -- My Element! This project will mostly be done in class with resources in our own library. Look for an assignment sheet to come home detailing that project.
In Social Studies we are... working on our last three maps for our Create-A-Country: Natural Resources, Agricultural, and Industrial. Students should be studying for the Geography Test which will be on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3. For a complete list of terms and skills that will be assessed: www.mrsbriz.com --> "Subject Links", "Social Studies", "Geography". To study for the test students should use the blank maps in the workbooks they've just received, look at the power point about the regions, and study their notes.
Any students that would like to stay after school with me on THURSDAY, OCT. 2 may do so to review Geography for our test, re-take the Geographic Regions quiz, or catch up on Create-A-Country maps. See you then!
In Math we are... reading double bar graphs and discussing why we might use them. We will create our own bar graphs given information, then collect our own data in order to create a bar graph. We'll also analyze nutritional information found on cookie boxes and make our own double bar graphs to report that data.
