Math

This week in 5th grade math we will cover multiplication as repeated addition, adding and subtracting dollars and cents, finding missing numbers in subtraction problems, the multiplication table and how it works, and word problems about separating.

Science 

After working on a lot of vocabulary this week and learning/thinking about how scientists work, we will spend next week making sense of everything, summarizing what we've learned and how it all fits together. This will serve as a review for our first unit test, which will take place next week.  I will send out an update prior to the test. 

We will also be introduced to a format to help students improve their analysis skills & technical writing skills, called CER, short for claim, evidence, reasoning, which we did not get to this week.

Blessings on your weekend!  Mrs. Zvara
