5th Grade Weekly Homework-Due Friday, September 16, 2011
Dear 5th Graders and Families,
Below you will find your homework the week. Everything is due on Friday so be sure to budget your time accordingly. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Have a great week! J
Vocabulary: On the back of this page are words that come from the other subjects we are currently studying. You need to know the definition, the part of speech, and how to use it correctly in a sentence. You will have a vocabulary test on all 10 words on Friday. The format of the test will vary each week.
Word Work/Spelling: Each night you will need to study your spelling words for homework. Spelling tests will be on Fridays. Read the attached letter carefully to discover the 10 spelling words this week and understand the concepts we will be teaching in class.
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: Use the given maps as well as other reference materials (internet, globes, atlas, etc.) to complete Week 4 (questions 16-20) Geography Questions, due Friday, in a similar manner. There will be a quiz this Friday on the first 4 weeks’ questions.
Writing: In order to become a better writer, you must write! Here are 2 prompts that we want you to write about in your notebook this week. There are no rules, just write! Remember to underline any words you are unsure of how to spell.
Ø Create a DOUBLE BUBBLE Map to compare and contrast 2 characters in a story you are reading. Be sure to describe how they are alike and different. Then turn your prewriting into a paragraph that is as descriptive as possible. Be sure to begin with an engaging lead/grabber that will make the reader want to continue reading the rest of the story.
Ø Explore your surroundings and nature. Go on a walk and choose 2 objects (leaves, flowers, rock, etc.) Create a DOUBLE BUBBLE Map to compare and contrast the 2 objects. Be sure to describe how they are alike and different. Then turn your prewriting into a paragraph that is as descriptive as possible. Be sure to begin with an engaging lead/grabber that will make the reader want to continue reading the rest of the story. Have fun!
Ø BONUS: Draw pictures of the two characters and your two objects in your notebook. Sketching and drawing helps you to see more details and be more descriptive in your writing.
