We are already off to a great start!!! The students are working hard and learning a lot. I am proud of them.
In reading and writing we are establishing rituals and routines. The students are learning strategies to use before, during, and after reading. In writing, we are using sourcebooks to record ideas for stories. I know we have some outstanding authors!!!
BOOK OF THE MONTH...
Our school's book of the month is A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon. The students have learned it is important to like yourself and be pleased with who you are. Students are writing a summary to this entertaining book. Please proofread their passage.
VOCABULARY...
The very first test is this Thursday(9-4). Try to have a conversation with your child with the following words: spirited, contract, impulse, arresting, composure, infer, perceptive, and refute. See how smart your 5th grader is!!!
HOME READING LOGS...
Students should already be working on these. The first one is due this Friday(9-5).
PARENT/STUDENT READING SHEET...
Here is an opportunity for you and your child to do homework together. Students received this sheet today. They need to read the story ALOUD to you and then complete the questions with you. This is also due this Friday. Have fun!!!
AGENDAS...
You can check your child's agenda for all homework and class activities.
Please email or call if you have any questions, concerns, or comments.
Thank you...Mrs. Highsmith
