5th Grade Language Arts and Social Studies
Good Morning,

Language arts: Today we worked on writing explanation paragraphs, worked on our Language Packets, Watched school house rock on nouns.

Social Studies: Watching "Its a wonderful life" depicting how things looked and were in the 1930's and 1940's era. Map timings, students get 10 minutes to copy down as many states as they can with the capitals.

Homework: Some students need to be studying for a states quiz tomorrow Wed. These students know who they are so ask your student if they need to study. See yesterdays blog for which states.
Each week we put together a Language Arts Packet which consists of : a Seeing R.E.D. grammer sheet, a prefix/suffix sheet, a vocabulary sheet, a spelling sheet and a reading response sheet. The students work on these during class time. They do need to be signed by a parent to just let us know that they have shown you what they are doing in class. These must be turned in by Friday at 8 a.m. or they are late. No parent signature marks off 10%, Turning it in late gets them half credit. These Packets (The students refer to them as BOB) are worth a lot of points.

Thanks and enjoy your day,
Rosemary DiVittore
