READING
We are continuing our novel, Number the Stars by Lois Lowery. Students will be reading and discussing chapters 8-12 this week and next during class.
Reading counts books should be finished this week and a new book will be selected to meet the requirements of our fifth grade reading challenge. Books should be selected based on a student's lexile, and once the book has been finished a test will be given. This is part of their reading grade, so students are encouraged to stay up with their reading!
WRITING and GRAMMAR
Students will be writing responses to literature in their composition books and posing questions they have for the main characters. Our focus this week is on the character traits and feelings. We'll be discussing the different character traits of the main characters in our novel. For our grammar focus we will be studying subject and object pronouns and the appropriate usage of each type.
