5P at SES

Hello Everyone.

On Thursday, we celebrated Veterans Day at the Town Hall with our annual Veterans Day Ceremony.  We heard beautiful speeches from military veterans, sang songs and heard a veterans day poem.  It was beautiful, and the students were a wonderful audience.   Check out the following link which will take you the News 22 coverage of the event! Check out News 22!  We were also visited by a few Military Members who did a Q and A with the class.  They even brought us some MRE's to eat!

Last week in math, we finished our unit on multiplication.  The kiddos took a test on Wednesday to show what they know.  Those will be coming home sometime this week.  This week, we will begin studying division! The students will learn different strategies for dividing up to 4 digit by 2 digit whole numbers.

In reading, we are finishing up our fiction unit.  We have studied characters, story elements, theme, author's craft and how to compare and contrast two different stories.

We will take a reading assessment on Thursday that will measure students understanding of these skills. This week, we are learning to how to write a response while reviewing some of the skills they have learned. Our next unit will be non fiction!

In writing, we have finished our narrative unit and will be doing on On Demand to show what we have learned about narrative stories.  Our next unit will be poetry.  Please see my last post about ways you can support this unit at home!

In Science, we will begin our Earth Science unit that will cover the Rock Cycle, Mineral Identification, Weathering and Erosion and Soil Types.  We are also trying some new lessons from a website called Mystery Science.  These lessons will teach us about the formation of Volcanoes, which will support our understanding of how rocks are formed and how the earth changes!
