JES Fifth Grade

Sept. 5, 2014

What’s Happening in Our Classes

Mrs. Crenshaw's Language Arts Classes (Crenshaw and Shull)
All language arts papers are stapled into the child’s language arts notebook. You can easily view all practice work, graded work, practice tests, graded tests, and goals. Please review complete and simple subjects and predicates.
All Social Studies Classes
All classes are studying the Civil War Battles. Your child should have a chart in the social study notebook for study purposes. The social studies notebook serves as the student’s study guide. Students should review the notebook entries nightly as they can expect one or two questions over previous material on each test.
All Science Classes
Mrs. Noland’s science classes are all working on learning how to draw conclusions. We have fun lessons and hands-on activities to help us learn the many parts of the scientific process this year. The students are to be commended for their enthusiasm and interest in science class!

Ms. Shull’s Math Classes (Shull, Noland, and Crenshaw)
The math topic 3 test will be on Wednesday, September 10th. All contract assignments are due on that day as well. We will begin topic 4 on Thursday. Please refer to our math curriculum site for copies of contracts, lessons, assignments, etc. The address for that site iswww.jesfifthgrademath.weebly.com. Hard copies of each student's contract are found in their math composition book.
Ms. Todd’s Math Class (Todd)
In math, we are beginning Topic 4: Dividing by 1-digit divisors. Some students are rusty and need to practice their multiplication facts at home.
Please remember that work must be made-up after an excused absence. Failure to make-up your work could result in a zero, which destroys a student’s average.
Ms. Todd’s Language Arts Classes (Todd and Noland)
We will read the story for Lesson 5: It Takes Talent! a Readers’ Theater by Rachel Domm. The robust vocabulary words are on Ms. Todd’s website: https://sites.google.com/site/mstoddsfifthgradetigers/. On this site, you will also find a link to Ms. Todd’s lesson plans. Knowledge of the vocabulary words is tested on the weekly lesson test.
In this story, we will be discussing the plot, including the conflict and resolution. We will also discuss the character’s motives.
In grammar, we are reviewing simple and complete subjects and predicates of sentences and types of sentences.
