September update

September 23, 2013

We have arrived at Fall.  School is in full swing now.  We have had our first round of tests and are completing our first group research project.

5th Grade Literature:  We will read stories from the Treasure's book this week and early next week.  These stories are accompanied by workbook pages and a final weekly test.  Check Mykoob to make sure your student isn't missing anything.

We will be discussing the next set of Literature books.  We will begin these books late next week.
Check out the literature tab for a listing of books and a website to review the books.
The first book report will be part of this literature set.


5th Grade Social Studies: We are currently working on a group research project.  The students are broken into groups, each studying a Native American Tribe. Each student is responsible for one part of the research.  Then together the group needs to put the information into a presentation and have a visual aid.

Check out the social studies tab to see the complete instructions and due dates. Groups are working during school to complete this project.  They may need to do work at home.

6th Grade Literature:  We will complete reading The Good Deed this week and read one more selection from the reading book.  These stories have workbook pages copied that need to be completed. Check Mykoob to make sure these pages are completed correctly.

  We will begin looking at our next set of literature books.  Students will have a choice of books to read.  You can see the list of books on the 6th grade lit tab and check out a website to review each of the books.

We will begin reading these books next week.  The first book report will be part of this literature set.
