ELA
5th- We will continue reading Island of the Blue Dolphins by reading chapters 14-17. We will finish the book before Fall Break. This week's vocabulary words are warily, lure, flank, matted, fortunate, abandoned. The student's will be making connections to what they read, describe character traits of Karana, and use description to visualize a devilfish.
Please remind your students to work hard during the reading block so they use their time wisely.
Writing
Science/Social Studies
5th-We just finished our unit on matter with an experiment on gummy bears and discussed physical and chemical changes. We will be reading about the new world and explorers. This will help start background information about exploration and get us into our American history so our field trip will have connections to the classroom. Remember that 5th grade field trip forms are due Sept. 30th along with the $20.
