What We Learned
This Week…
Math – This week we reviewed ratios, percents, and
decimals. We also learned how to find the percent of a
number and how to compare data sets. Then we played
Jeopardy to review for the Chapter 11 test.
Reading – We continued our fantasy unit by discussing the
conflicts that the main character faces in our fantasy
books. We also looked for examples of how our characters
are complex and how they change throughout the novel.
Writing – We continued our poetry unit by using what we
learned about poetry to write 5th grade memory poems.
Then we revised and edited our poems and published them
to add to our poetry books.
