What's Up Next Week?
Math:
Focus Standards:
5.NBT.A.1- Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
5.NBT.A.2- Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.

5.NBT.A.3- Read and write decimals to thousandths.
5.NBT.A.3a- Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form, e.g., 347.392 = 3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 7 × 1 + 3 × (1/10) + 9 × (1/100) + 2 × (1/1000).

We will be working with these standards over the next two weeks. I will also continue to support students who are still working on multiplication and division of multi digit numbers. You can download and print worksheets for your student if they need practice with the processes. I would also recommend Khan Academy as a great reference/review.
Writing:
Focus Standards:
SL.5.1.b - Comprehension and Collaboration: Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions and carry out assigned roles.
W.5.3.b - Text Types and Purposes: Use narrative techniques, such as dialogue, description, and pacing, to develop experiences and events or show the responses of characters to situations.
We will get back to our seed ideas and begin to develop them into a piece to be published as we learn narrative techniques and work with our writing partner to improve our use of these techniques.
Reading:
Focus Standard:
RL.5.2 - Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text, including how characters in a story or drama respond to challenges or how the speaker in a poem reflects upon a topic; summarize the text.

We will continue to work on strategies to help with literary comprehension next week as we read some new Native American legends and myths.
Science/Social Studies:
Focus Standards:
Provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth
Describe the hydrosphere and interactions using a variety of models.
We will be using abstract art next week to create a model to represent the distribution of water on Earth.
