Mrs. Rosenberger's Fifth Grade
December 21, 2015
What's going on?
With the break quickly approaching, we are attempting to complete some activities that are Christmas related, yet still help us work toward our goals as fifth graders. So, I told them that almost everything would have some sort of a Christmas theme.
In reading, we are reviewing things like homophones, cause and effect, text features, and poetry. We are not doing DLR this week. Instead we are using Christmas themed reviews of contractions, similes and metaphors, and an introduction to prepositional phrases. We're also practicing parts of speech. Today they did a Mad Lib style activity for Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and sang their creations to each other!
When we come back from the holiday, we will begin Unit 2.3 which will cover sequencing and Greek and Latin suffixes.
In science, we are wrapping up our study of erosion and weathering with stations of various types. The students will rotate around through those five stations in the classes both before and after Christmas. There will be a quiz probably the second week in January.
There is no spelling this week. We will do the next pretest on Jan 4.
