Science

Science is the best subject in my opinion. because you  can play with experiments. Right now we are learning about the oxygen and carbon dioxide cycle. Carbon dioxide is also called co2 .  plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen for us to breathe.  also  in Stations we are learning about animals natural habitats  and what happens when we destroy their homes to build roads.

Math

In 5th grade we are learning math.In math class we have been learning about coordinate plane , graphs,and plots. We are also doing stations about the concepts. Our teacher has tried to teach us this because we had missed it in 4th grade STAAR. Our teacher wanted to learn it now because it will be another question on the 5th grade STAAR too. In our future we will have to use the things she teaches us. For example we have to use a graph when we are trying to do something in the future.

Math

This week in math we are learning about angles and vertices.

A vertice is when two lines meet. We are using triangles and many other shapes to find vertices.To have vertices it must be made up of sides. There are angles like right angles, acute angles, and obtuse angles.It is  good that we are learning this because in real life if you are building a house right angles,acute angles,and obtuse angles could help you.So our teachers are helping us with Life challenges because they are teaching about right angles, obtuse angles, and acute angles.That is what we are learning in math.

Language Arts

Homophones are things that sound the same but they  are spelled differently And they mean different things.The homophones are the  things  that can be like the word two.

An example of a homophone is: To ,two, and too.It is important to learn about homophones because  If you know them then you won't get  confused with them. I am learning them  in reading, language arts, and  Social studies.

On the road to success is a program that will help us get ready for the starr test.

When you start you will get a paper that will help you know what you need to work on. It will also help you and knowing what you are getting right. Sometimes I question myself what am I getting right. When my teacher gives us those papers I don't have to question myself.

My teacher will give you a countdown to Start bubble sheets and she will tell you highlight the ones you got 70% or more in.
