Math This week we worked on multiplying large numbers, exponents, and

drawing a picture to go with a multiplication word problem. We spent yester-

day reviewing and took the Unit 3 test today. Graded tests will be coming
home on Monday. Our next unit will be on dividing by one digit divisors. Stu-
dents who are not solid in their facts are going to continue to struggle. Keep
working on those facts at home. We are at school, but many students need
more practice than that.
Reading Our story next week is At the Beach. We will practice identify-
ing theme within a story. We are still working on using context clues to iden-
tify unknown words. Students are struggling with this. The other major
weakness is identifying evidence from the text to support an answer. Stu-
dents are lacking in this in their constructed response answers on the test
which is causing a lot of missed points. I will be printing off Reading tests
with Ds or below each week so students and you can see what is missed and
start analyzing why. You can also access student tests by logging into
mybigcampus.com with your childs log in information. They can help you get
to where you need to be.
Grammar Next week we will discuss the subject and predicate of the
sentence. Students need to identify nouns and verbs to correctly identify
these two parts of a sentence.
Writing This week we worked on publishing our Tall Tales in Word. We will
continue working on these next week and publish to Kidblog when we are fin-
ished.
Spelling- Our list focuses on digraphs. Students can practice online at
www.spellingcity.com/triton5.
Social Studies Students have been learning about Native Americans
by regions. We have been taking notes in our binders which can be used to
study for the test. We have finished up our unit today, but we will spend the
next week doing group research/presentations on a tribe. Our test will come
the following week.
Science-This week we dove into various labs to practice using the concepts
and scientific tools we have been reading about. We will be studying for our
Science test which will come next Wednesday. Students can use their book,
notes in their notebook, and study guides in their binder to study.

Note From the Teacher:

Beginning September 29 we will launch our annual Tupperware sales. The fundraiser will run
through October 17th. Students in 5th grade are strongly encouraged to sell as much as they can.
The money we raise helps with 5th grade supplies and helping offset student cost for Camp Amigo.
Please refer to the envelope coming home shortly for more details. The top seller in 5th grade for
Tupperware sales will receive a FREE, Tupperware water bottle. The top seller (per class) cumulative-
ly for fundraiser sales will earn a FREE trip to Camp Amigo!!!! What a deal! :) The costs keep rising
for our trip, so the more we sell the less you pay! Thank you in advance for helping us raise money!
