Ms. Kimball’s fifth graders are learning much during the month of June.
In reading, students finished reading Lewis and Clark and have begun Freedom Train and are learning about their adventures. In reading groups, they are currently learning about different nonfiction genres like biography and memoir. Students are also independently reading and are encouraged to read more and more challenging books.
Students are learning about fractions, percentages and ratios in math class. Students are able to convert between the three and will soon be able to calculate the percent off of a cost.
In social studies, students have finished a unit on slavery. They learned about the causes of slavery, the triangular trade and the effects of slavery. They are learning about the American Revolution. Each student created an American Revolution board game. Students played these games as a review for their unit test.
To finish out the year in writing, students are learning the art of persuasion. They are currently publishing Loyalist and Patriot newspapers.
