September Curriculum
Language Arts:
Reading - In reading we are reading a class novel called Word Eater. It is about a little worm that eats printed letters (words). We are having some great discussions about what would happen if. . .
Word Work - Our vocabulary words are taken from our reading novel and tests are on Fridays.
We have new spelling words each week. Look for homework on Wednesdays. Skill & Proof Tests are given on Thursday and Word Tests on Friday.
Writing - In writing we have been working on several things, the most recent and current story is based on a back to school picture. Each student got a comical picture and they are inventing the story to go along with it. We are working on the writing trait - Ideas & Content.
Social Studies:
We are finishing up Proud To Be Me. The information the students shared was wonderful. We are doing a geography review, using maps to analyze hemispheres, continents, and the borders of the United States, Mexico, & Canada. We will soon be starting our Explorer unit and learning about the first inhabitants of the U.S.
Math:
We are using patterns & relations to represent and analyze math problems and number relationships using algebraic symbols.
Science:
In 5th grade we do science rotations. The first rotation is with me and we are learning about the Earth's Surface that is constantly changing. We will study how volcanoes, earthquakes, uplift, erosion and weathering reshape Earth's surface.
Technology:
We are working on our keyboarding skills and word processing.
