Ft. Mariana!
In writing we printed and shared our articles today with the class. As our new unit, there are going to be two parts the first part is a game. No one knows what the second part is though. The game is where you and your group are a big family. You choose a new last name and first name. Everyone gets a job. On the game with your family, you are conquering the Oregon trail! So far we haven’t done a lot, we just read a packet, did jobs, and created names. Well we know that we are going to come up with backstories for our family, and draw them out.
In reading we are wrapping up our mini books (due on Friday) and slowly working through our read aloud, Bud Not Buddy. MOst people have finished their mini books, and our doing reading tests from Ms.Greller. Or dear reading. We have been adding color and images and blurbs to our mini books so far all of them look GREAT!
This is MARIANA MALONEY! I am a guest writer today. (3/1) Today is a Wednesday, so we had THEATRE! In theatre we have been doing the fifth grade five minute plays, last week we finished our plays, and this week Mr. Gioa announced which plays were picked! The plays that were chosen were, Magic, by: Mariana, Pilar, and Gwen, StepFord Academy, by: Lulu and Ines, Mases, by: Tenzin and Chihiro, and Starting Fresh, by: Riley and Taran. Also, Mr. Gioa was so amazed by a piece of work in 306, that he decided that our class is going to do it as well. It is called The Switch-a-Roo!, by: Lucia, Sienna, and Beatrice. We will be having our first rehearsal next Wednesday!
In math, we just finished up our unit on multiplying fractions. We just took the test and turned in the exemplar that goes with it. Our new unit is… DIVIDING DECIMALS!!!! So far we have done a lot. In 5th grade we are only going to divide with unit fractions (fractions with one as the numerator). We have noticed that sometimes our quotient will be bigger than our divisor. In the equations we have done this whole number÷ fraction and vice versa. Here is an example: 5÷1/4
