Reading: In order to become a better reader, you must read! Each night you should read a book of your choice for at least 20 minutes. Complete the attached activity worksheet based on the one book you are reading this week. Be sure to explain your reasoning with examples from the text.
Social Studies: Complete the weekly geography worksheet, questions 21-25. Use the provided maps and other resources such as an atlas, globe, or internet websites.
Writing: In order to become a better writer, you must write! This week bring in 3 pictures from home that represent a “seed” story that you want to write about. Write stories in your notebook this week that make the stories in the pictures come alive. Remember to focus on ONE small idea and ONE feeling that this event made you feel. We will choose one story this week to take through the writing process and publish for our friends and family to read.

    Hi Mitchell! The jobs are listed in the workbook in the help wanted ads section. I can show you at school, but I don't have a copy at home. You could also check out the Ameritowne link on this blog. They may be listed there. :)

About Me

My photo
Welcome to the 2013-2014 school year! I am so happy and grateful to be a part of the Buffalo Trail community and especially the wonderful 5th grade team. This is my 2nd year at BTE and my 12th year of teaching. I have taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades in Kentucky and Colorado. Before moving to Denver three years ago, I lived in Northern Kentucky near Cincinnati, Ohio. I earned a BS from the University of Kentucky and my MAT from the University of Louisville. In 2007, I became a National Board Certified Teacher with an emphasis in Early/Middle Childhood Reading and Language Arts. In my free time, I love to read, ride my bike, try new restaurants, and go to concerts/sports events. I love cheering my teams on during basketball season, hiking, and skiing. I am loving Colorful Colorado and look forward to our new adventures together!
