Grade 5: Week of October 28th to November 4th

On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, we will be testing our weather instruments. All students who make weather instruments for bonus credit will get to test the instruments themselves! On Monday we will create our own weather map, using symbols of fronts, clouds, air pressure, and precipitation. We will also begin an analysis of another weather map and students may complete it for homework. On Tuesday we will begin our Wind and weather instrument review sheet to prepare for the test. Students will have some time to complete this in class. At the same time that we are reviewing our last unit in weather, we will review and mark questions pertaining to the Weather Nine Weeks Test. This test will review all we have learned in weather, and will be presented in a multiple choice format so students will get accustomed to the format of the End of Grade Test. Most questions for the Weather Nine Weeks Test will be taken from Competitive Edge questions on pages 148-151, and students will receive an answer key once they have completed these questions for homework. Students will take the Wind and Weather Instruments test on Thursday and will take the Nine Weeks Test next week.

Homework this week:

Monday night: Weather map sheet (if students did not finish it in class), Competitive Edge pgs. 146-147 #1-22 (preparation for the Nine Weeks test)

Tuesday night: Review sheet (if not finished in class), study for the Wind and Weather Instruments Test, Competitive Edge pgs. 148-149 all questions

Wednesday night: study for the Wind and Weather Instruments test on Thursday
