Math

• This week we continued with fraction by fraction multiplication, models to understand our thinking, and generalizations about products of fraction multiplication. 
• Next week we will take our second Bridges Interim Assessment before we continue with Unit 5 Module 4.
• Our March Number Corner will be focused on area of objects using multiplication of decimals.   In addition, each week we will be gathering data of pencil lengths, placing the data in a line plot, analyzing data and making predictions.

Literacy this week

• This week we started Module 3 which is about athletes for social change.  Our text is Promises to Keep  written by Sharon Robinson.  The book is about her father, Jackie Robinson.
• This week we explored the text, summarized parts of the book and started thinking about characteristics people possess for social change. 
• For ALL Block, we continue to work with vocabulary words, writing responses to our reading and fluency work.  

Science--

Our third unit will be on Modeling Matter as we answer the question: What happens when two substances are mixed together?

• Our first chapter will focus on : Why did the food coloring separate into different dyes?
• Our second chapter will focus on : Why do some salad dressings have sediments and others do not?
• Our third chapter will focus on : Why can salad dressing ingredients separate again after being mixed?

SELS/Health lessons

• Advertising Healthy Routines
• Randall Way Video for February is shared in your 5th grader's Google Classroom.  Our February goal is 1,100  paws to try and earn a Game Day in March.
