Mrs. LeRoy's Classroom Information
SOCIAL STUDIES/SCIENCE
The fifth graders will begin social studies for the second semester. We will begin with the colonists arriving, westward expansion, and the Revolutionary War. We will also be learning a lot about U.S. geography.
Block 1 - 5th Grade Math
We are working on Topics 10 and 11. These topics cover all operations with fractions and mixed numbers.
Homework is back, so the students will have homework two times a week. The expectation is that it be returned the next day. I will not assign homework on the weekend.

Block 2 - 4th Grade Math
This block is working hard on long division and then checking our answers using multiplication. Many students are doing a great job with this. Ask them to show you how good they are with this skill!

Language Arts
We will begin our "masterpiece" informational writing project. The topic will be decades. We will begin with a museum walk through the decades. Then students will choose a decade of interest to them. We will search for sources, fill out a source sheet, and then begin taking notes. From there we will write out "masterpiece". The final step will be to create a slideshow presentation to share with the class. There will be periodic parent checks along the way. Please look for these.
In grammar, we will be covering shifts in verb tense. We will also be examining three new root words.
