3/5/14 Literacy.W.5.7 Conduct short research projects that use several sources to build knowledge through investigation of different aspects of a topic.
2/25/14 Math.5.NBT.6 Finding whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
2/11/14 Math.5.NBT.6 Continuing to perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths (using the Rectangular Area Model of Long Division with 2-Digit Divisors).
1/23/14 Math.5.NBT.6 Perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths (with long division).
1/8/14 Math.5.OA.1 Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.
12/12/13 Literacy.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.
11/25/13 Math.CC.5.NBT.5 Performing operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths (with multiplication).
11/20/13 Literacy.CCRA.W.8 Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism.
11/12/13 Math.5.OA.2 Writing simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them.
11/4/13 Literacy.RL.5.4 Determining the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative language such as metaphors and similes.
10/30/13 Math.5.NBT.6 Performing operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths.
10/24/13 Literacy.CCRA.W.3 We've written narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences.
10/21/13 Literacy W.5.3b Using narrative techniques, such as dialogue and description to develop main events or show the responses of characters to situations.
10/17/13 Literacy.L.5.5a We've been interpreting figurative language, including similes and metaphors, in context.
10/16/13 Math.5.NBT.7 Using the properties of operations with multiplication.
10/8/13 Math.5.NBT.4 - Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place.
10/3/13 Math.5.NBT.3b - Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place, using symbols to record the results of the comparisons.
10/2/13 Understanding the Place Value system: Math.5.NBT.1 - Recognizing 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.
10/1/13 We're finding common themes across genres by pairing texts (non-fiction article and fable).
9/23/13 We have worked on the Common Core standard Literacy.RL.5.4 We determined the meaning of words and phrases, including figurative language such as similes, metaphors and personification by using our class novel Holes as well as our good fit books.
