When we return from Christmas Break, we will have our Lesson 7 Spelling Quiz on Friday, January 10th. No homework is assigned over the break, enjoy time with family and friends. Merry Christmas!
Reading
5th graders have thoroughly enjoyed fine-tuning their oral reading fluency skills by participating in Readers’ Theater. After the break, we will begin reading Number the Stars, a historical fiction novel by Lois Lowry. It is about the escape of a Jewish family from Copenhagen, Denmark, during World War II. Students will be participating in Literature Circles during this unit, taking turns leading their group. Much of the reading is expected to be completed at home.
Social Studies
After the break we will begin Chapter 7, Comparing the Colonies. In this chapter we will learn about the New England, Middle and Southern Colonies and learn about their similarities and differences. Students will be placed in small groups to make a billboard to advertise the colony to new settlers from England. They will present a short presentation.
