Welcome back! I hope you are excited and ready to have a fabulous year in 5th grade.
Even though the 1st marking period is all virtual, we will still perform most of the rituals and routines necessary for our curriculum - Reader's and Writer's Workshop - in English Language Arts. For the 1st marking period, we will get in the habit of reading daily while practicing "reading is thinking". Students will be assigned books using EPIC and think more deeply about the fiction genre. For the writing component, creating personal narratives will be the focus.
With social studies, the students will explore our nation's geography through watching videos and by reading articles and books on EPIC.
