For Friday

Hi everyone,
Hope you are finding some time to get out and enjoy this beautiful weather. Here is what we will be doing in class tomorrow:

Fluency - Star Spangled Story (we will complete the back side, talking about descriptive language in writing)

Social Studies - We will finish our culture presentations and recite The Preamble.

Writing - we will finish our study on the types of sentences (declarative, imperative, interrogative, and exclamatory) by taking a short quiz to demonstrate understanding. Looking through the Sees Behind Trees story and looking for these types of sentences may be a smart thing to do. Time may be given for free writing and addingknick knacks to our writing journal (this can be stickers, photos, magazine clippings, etc.) We will continue our storying lesson.

Reading - We will do an open book test for Sees Behind Trees. You will be writing an extended response for this story, needing to look back in the story in order to support a single idea. Reading the story again would be a great way to be prepared. Be sure that you are asking yourself questions during reading.

Otter Creek - we will take our two minute test tomorrow. Have you been studying so you get a higher score tomrrow than you did last week?

Math - be sure (5th grade math) that you record the time you started your math homework and the time you finished it. We will use this data to work on landmarks of mean, median, and mode tomorrow.

After all of this, you will surely be ready for a weekend of relaxation!!
:-)
