This week we will pre-test the first chapter of the textbook. This will allow me to determine if any additional teaching is needed from it. If not, we will move on to a pre-test of the second chapter. These pre-tests will allow me to adjust my teaching to help these students while also covering the required material. Pre-Tests will be counted as an "end of the chapter" test if all do well. They may retake them if they want, though.
This week we will finish up the budget project. Students will create some type of presentation to show others in the class what they did and found out. It could be a PowerPoint, poster, collage, etc.
Updated: Friday, we had great presentations by all students of their budget project. They learned a lot and did really well with budgeting (everyone had money left over for savings!). Please enjoy the photos below. Monday: Introductions, syllabus, and additional information; Homework is to bring back the signed syllabus to class tomorrow
We played with pentominoes some. They are great for brain teasers! Free printable pentominoes here. Animal pentomino puzzles here. Tuesday - Friday: Working on the budget project. This project requires students to use multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction of whole numbers and decimals. It will allow me to see how comfortable with the beginning of the 5th grade curriculum. This project can be found HERE. The homework will only be small portions of the project (maybe finishing a section that they were in the middle of), but this will be determined daily. Hello all! Click here to read the the 5th grade advanced syllabus. We will follow through the 5th grade curriculum while also adding projects and extension activities. This week, the entire 5th grade class will be taking placement assessments. Next week will begin the first week of classroom teaching, and I will update for more information. Welcome back!
