update 12-5

Last week, we had another essay battle from writing about Infographics.  Your child took his/her paper home and should have shared it with you.  Here are the winners:  Trinidad, Ollie, Emma, Ben, Sophia, Maddie, Megan, and Aidan B.  Congrats to them!




This week, we started our Native American unit.  We will be learning and studying Native Americans in both SS and LA class.  The goal in fifth grade is to learn about Native Americans around the United States, not just Ohio (4th grade was just Ohio).  There is one more formative for the 2nd quarter this Friday and a summative the following Friday.

Our writing focus is on writing informational pieces drawing information from multiple sources.  We continue to work on that and are typing each week through Google Classroom.

A reading log is due this Friday along with a Digital Readworks article that is online.  Reading Counts points are due by 12/21.  As an incentive, if a child reaches his/her goal by this Friday, they will be excused from the homework next week.  So far, many kids have accomplished this!  I have met with each child today and let them know how they are doing.

Thanks for your support!  Holiday shop is this week.
