Miss Jackson’s Class Weekly News
Central Avenue School
What We Learned
This Week…
Math – This week we learned how to use patterns to
multiply and divide decimals by powers of ten and divide a
decimal by a whole number. We also reinforced our
problem solving skills by interpreting remainders.
Reading – In our book clubs we continued our Avi author
study. We compared and contrasted the settings,
characters, structures, and points of view that Avi uses in
his books by using venn diagrams.
Writing – We continued our literary essay unit by testing
our big ideas and developing thesis statements. We used a
graphic organizer to organize our information. Then we
began drafting the introduction and body paragraphs.
Science – This week we learned about Bernoulli’s Principle.
Mr. Kemp came in to teach us about airplanes and airfoils
and demonstrate how airplane wings achieve lift. We also
conducted our own experiments to observe this principle.
Congratulations 5J for winning the Golden Tray
last week! Let’s work hard to earn it again.
