Mrs. Rosenberger's Fifth Grade
January 15, 2016
What's going on?
After we completed the reading test on Tuesday this week, we moved into a lesson that will focus on theme and personification. We read a folktale called "The Magical Lost Brocade" to introduce those concepts. Next week we will have several days of district required reading assessments, followed by some lessons found in our Storyworks magazines. I plan on including as much nonfiction as possible over the coming months, as most students seem to still be struggling with it. We'll read a story about Mt. St. Helens (which we already talked about in science) and look at the text structures found in the article.
In grammar, we are still working on creating compound sentences. They are doing very well with this in class! Some of the students have even recognized them in other assignment or books and pointed them out to me!
Book Blogs were assigned on Wednesday. We spent some time reviewing the expectations in class today before they started writing. If you are unsure that your child is completing this assignment correctly, check Google Classroom or click here to go to my website for the same documents.
We are wrapping up the science unit covering different changes that occur on the Earth's surface. This week we reviewed erosion and weathering for the last quiz. They will make a booklet to review the entire chapter next week with a test on Jan 22.
