Last Week's review: In 5th and 6th grade we have come to the end of our first unit with the read aloud novels. Both groups have talked about setting and characters in depth. Some of the projects associated with those are hanging in the hallway. I have greatly enjoyed reading to the classes and they have listened intently.
In social studies both 5th grades completed their Wintercounts. Those canvases will hang in the hallway beginning next week.
On to this week...
5th Grade Language Arts: Spelling - We are working on pages 26-29. Pretest is on Monday. Your student should bring home their pre-test on Tuesday. This allows them to know which words they need to concentrate on for the week. Ask them about it.
Grammar - Our skill this week is Run-on sentences. This is a great lesson and for 5th graders certainly a work in progress. We will work through skill pages together on Tuesday and Wednesday with the re-write assignment on Thursday and quiz Friday.
Literature - We will finish reading Maniac Magee tomorrow. We will go over final vocabulary words on Tuesday. The final test will be Thursday. It will cover parts of the book and the vocabulary words. We will review in class. The vocabulary folder will also be turned in on Thursday for a final grade.
We may squeeze in the reading of one story in our Treasures book this week.
I will be introducing the next set of books. There will be four choices. Please go to the 5th grade literature tab on the blog to see the books and link to a website with reviews. Each student will rank the 4 books in order of interest and will be assigned to one of the books to read. We will celebrate New Book Beginnings next Monday!
5th Grade Social Studies: We are beginning chapter 3. The students will have a map to color on Monday and possibly some other homework by Wednesday. We will begin brainstorming Native American Tribes to research by region. Hopefully by the end of the week we will be making those research choices and details of the project will follow.
6th Grade Literature: This week as we finish the reading of True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle we will begin the essay test. Each student will complete a character essay for the main character. We will work through the directions together as well as a planning sheet. All of those pages and the final will be done on Google Classroom. You can go there to see the assignment starting Tuesday.
We will also finish vocabulary and the test over the words will be Thursday/ Friday. Your student should bring home a vocabulary folder with the words completed. The folder will also be turned in for a grade.
I will be introducing the next set of books this week. You can see the books and a link to a website with reviews on the 6th grade literature tab on this blog. Choices will be assigned and we will be ready to begin the new books next Monday!!
Have a blessed week in the Lord!
