5th Grade Week of 4/30
What a week! The sun finally came out, spring is here, and so much happened in 5th grade! We had a wonderful time at Prospect Park during Lag Baomer, and enjoyed hosting our families for Kesher Day. We are also looking towards the end of the year, including preparing the students for health class. Please enjoy our classroom updates below, and have a good weekend!
HUMANITIES: Another successful week in Humanities! We began pre-reading for our fantasy book club unit, including reading classic fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm and interpreting their connections to other fantasy works to create a list of common elements within the fantasy genre. Students also continued working hard on their China Museum projects. Have a good weekend!-Tony
MATH: Fifth graders started a new unit on Decimals (unit 7) this week and are able to identify decimal place-values. The Standardized Tests are coming up (Tuesday, May 15th – Wednesday, May 16th) and will begin reviewing for the test from next week until the test days. Students should be bringing calculators (finally) to class that were asked of them at the beginning of school year.-Kelly
Judaics:
This week we finished our learning of the 4th Aliyah. We put together a really fun timeline of the history of Israel. Laura had us do a competition with the other class. We had to see who could put the timeline together the fastest. The challenge was that we couldn’t speak, it was really fun. I thought the timeline was also really interesting
HEBREW:
הורים יקרים,
השבוע המשכנו לעבוד על יחידת “קומיקס בעברית”. מרבית מהתלמידים סיימו את כתיבת הדיאלוג ומוכנים כעת לעבור לשלב הבא של כתיבת הפרוייקט. בנוסף, השינשינים הגיעו אלינו לפעילות בנושא קומיקס – הם הציגו לכיתה מסטיק “בזוקה” והתלמידים התאמנו על בדיחות קרש. במסגרת קריאת סיפורים בימי שישי, אנחנו קוראים בהמשכים את הספר של גלילה רון-פדר, מנהרת הזמן – ירושלים במצור.
סוף שבוע טוב
אילנה
