5th Grade: Ms. Leiva & Ms. Scott
Homework Contact Information Learning at home provides extra practice for skills already introduced and worked on during the school day. You will have homework every night. You are required to record your homework assignments in your planner every day. Ms. Lindsay Leiva Ms. Tiffany Scott Expectations and Goals Over the course of the school year, we will be learning and growing each day. We will solve and explain problems as mathematicians. We will be exploring various concepts to become better readers and writers. We will analyze documents as historians. We will question things around us like scientists. You will be held to high expectations both academically and behaviorally. Strive toward reaching your goals. Incomplete work, poor attitudes, and other non-productive behaviors will not put you on a path for success. Expect greatness from yourself, and great things will happen. Respect yourself. Respect others. Respect the environment. At Luling Elementary, we live by these 3 rules. Throughout the year, you will learn how to display respectful behaviors. If you cannot follow our rules of respecting yourself, respecting others, and respecting the environment, you will receive a logical consequence. Some of these consequences could include going to the think chair, taking a break, having lunch with Ms. Gaubert to discuss any problems, completing a reflection form, etc. If you continue to disobey the rules, you will receive a behavior referral, which may come with a more severe consequence. You will also be held responsible for following the LES Expectations. These expectations must be followed no matter where you are in school and no matter what teacher you are with. We will also spend some time during the first week of school establishing some more classroom expectations. You will help me to create these expectations. It is important for us to follow rules and expectations so that you and your classmates can have a successful fifth grade year. Every student will be held accountable for following every rule and every expectation.

Additional Policies Expect More. Achieve More. Wednesday Folders
These folders will be sent home every week on Wednesday. These folders will include important school documents/flyers, graded work, conduct grade, missed homework assignments, and progress reports. You and your parent or guardian must sign and return the folder by Friday. You and your parent or guardian’s signature lets me know that you are aware of your progress in school. Because you will take most of your assessments on Edulastic (an assessment website), you will be responsible for looking at your graded assignments on the Edulastic website. Technology This school year, you will have access to Google Chromebooks throughout the school day. These Chromebooks will be used during instructional time for research, learning, and assessments. The Chromebooks cannot be taken home, but you can access your account through any device at home. However, you cannot change any work at any time. Please keep in mind that everything has a time stamp in Google, and I will be able to see what is being done. In addition, if you damage a Chromebook, you are responsible for paying for any damages.

Math During the course of the school year, we will study several different topics in Math. We will spend each class reviewing challenging concepts through small group instruction and learning a new lesson. You will take a quiz after every topic learned. We will also spiral questions on quizzes and tests. You can expect Math homework on a nightly basis, both spiral homework and homework from the Eureka lesson. With Eureka math, you will be expected to be able to explain your thinking and solve for the correct answers. You need to know your multiplication and division facts fluently. We will cover the following topics throughout the school year: Module 1: Place Value and Decimal Fractions Module 2: Multi-Digit Whole Number and Decimal Fraction Operations Module 3: Addition and Subtraction of Fractions Module 4: Multiplication and Division of Fractions and Decimal Fractions Module 5: Addition and Multiplication with Volume and Area Module 6: Problem Solving with the Coordinate Plane ELA This school year, your ELA class will combine reading and writing instruction through Guidebooks 2.0. We will read books, articles, and novels. Some things we will read together, with a partner, or with a group, and some books you will be responsible for reading on your own.

We will learn to ask questions and answer those questions based on science concepts.
