5V News

Happy Valentine's Day!  We had a busy week in 5V even though we missed a day and had a delayed opening!  Here are some of the things we've been up to:

• Measured angles in pattern blocks
• Calculated the total amount of degrees in a triangle, quadrangle, pentagon, hexagon and heptagon
• Played "Polygon Capture" during math
• Began our nonfiction writing unit by writing for 50 minutes on a topic we know about
• Listed topics we know well and subtopics to brainstorm for our nonfiction writing unit
• Determined which subtopics need more information by writing about them
• Observed and discovered how particles move in hot and cold water
• Looked at narrative nonfiction texts and how they are different from other nonfiction texts
• Practiced taking notes on both videos and short texts
• Began reading Harris and Me by Gary Paulsen during read aloud 

Ask your child to log in to Google Drive, IXL, Kidblog, Science Companion and Newsela to see more of what we are doing in class.  Everything the students have access to at school they have access to at home!  

Have a great weekend!
