5th Grade Weekly Homework-Due Friday, September 30, 2011
Dear 5th Graders and Families,
We are looking forward to a very fun and busy week. The Box Tops class competition has begun so be sure to turn those in this week. The class with the most Box Tops will win a prize party! Friday is the 2nd annual FUN RUN! It is also October Count and HAT DAY! You do not want to miss this fun day at PRE!
Below you will find your homework for this week. All homework 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. The Spelling test will be on Friday. Read the attached letter carefully to discover the spelling words this week and understand the concepts we will be teaching in class. This week we are focusing on silent consonants w, t, b, k, and l.
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. Based on the one book you are reading this week, create a poster with a FLOW MAP that describes and illustrates the main sequence of events in your book. Be sure to explain your reasoning with examples from the text using a FRAME of REFERENCE. Poster paper will be provided at school. Be ready to share your poster with the class on Friday. Please use colored pencils or crayons (no markers) to color your illustrations. Your FLOW MAP must have at least 5 sequence boxes.
Social Studies: Complete the weekly geography worksheet, questions 26-30. 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! From now until Fall Break, we will be working on taking one of our “seed ideas” through the entire writing process to publish our first piece. You will work on your personal narrative in class and at home. Your teacher will give you specific homework to make sure this is completed on time. Be sure to listen carefully to directions given in class for this exciting project!
