Looking forward to the rest of the school year!
What a great week off!! I have heard all about your trips and all the exciting things you've all done over Spring Break. We started a new math unit this week; Order of Operations and the Coordinate Plane! It's so much fun! We are continuing our work on our Persuasive Letters and for a little extra writing, we are filling in our own Final Four Brackets and writing a Friendly Letter to our top pick team. We've even gotten letters back from the teams in the past, keep our fingers crossed!! How exciting! In reading, we are starting to learn about how to evaluate Author's Purpose, not only will this help our reading skills, but our writing skills as well. We are also focusing on different types of Figurative Language. Please check out our quiz on the Language Arts Page.
Looking forward to the rest of the school year!

I love the idea of writing to the basketball teams. Our curriculum includes no letter writing in 5th grade. So we do student of the week and write letters to them. Is letter writing part of your curriculum or is this an activity to incorporate it?
