Here are a number of links to sites and resources which will help reinforce our learning. Also, please check under resources to find an links to alternative math tests and the Math Makes Sense Grade 5 Homework and Practice book.

Language

We will welcome back our student teacher Miss Steinberg on Monday. She will be presenting a second lesson on Summarizing a text, which is a very important skill for all students to master. 

Here are some practice worksheets from Scholastic

We will continue with our Novel Study and of course, reinforcing our language and mathematical skills through Daily Language and our Bellwork. 

Science

In science we have been learning about Matter. So far we have covered the Three States of Matter, Solid, Liquid, and Gas, as well as Plasma. We have looked at the Properties of Solids and Liquids and learned how to identify, measure, and describe them using the scientific language. This week we will conduct further experiments with liquids and learn the properties of gases.
  
Special Activities: This Wednesday we will view a performance of Kids On the Block
