5th Grade Newsletter: January 4, 2016





W
elcome back from the, hopefully, restful and needed break!  I hope that you truly enjoyed your time with family and the sparkling, white snowfall!  Blog A link of our wonderful day together—celebrating Christmas with worship, Spanish songs, secret Santas, Adopt-a-Family, and movie with munchies—was emailed over the holidays: http://changfutureleaders.blogspot.com/2015/12/video-and-pictures.html
Bible A new Bible list of Romans 12 was sent home.  Adopt-a Family Thank you to all our families in the 5th grade for blessing others with your sacrificial generosity and compassion!   This picture shows a Christmas made tremendously special with our gifts of more-than-words to a family.

Reading The reading logs are due tomorrow.  Only the weekdays of the weeks we had school will be graded—15 days.

Math lessons 51-53 will be practiced and due tomorrow.   Daily from Wednesdays through Friday, a lesson will be examined in detail. There is no test this week, but we will have the 8th one next week.

Language Arts Last month, we completed all our rough draft poems!  The final poems [“Five Senses,” “Haiku,” “Who-What-When-Where-Why” and  Bible (optional)] are due. This week we will write out our final drafts by simply copying our rough drafts.  For Art, we will spend time adding our illustrations into our poetry book.  Mechanics, Usage, and Grammar (M.U.G.) This week we will review all the punctuation (i.e. dashes, parentheses, hyphens, colons, semi-colons, quotation marks, underlining) marks learned.

Spelling This week we are studying homophones (lesson 13).  Vocabulary, we are finishing up the lesson on “Birds in Tuxedos.”  Also, spelling and vocabulary worksheets will be due Tuesdays and tests will be on Wednesdays (with Wordly Wise—every other week).

In History and Science we are going through our study guides to get ready for the upcoming tests (Wednesday and next Thursday, respectively).  Also, we are going to begin an in-class project on a Greek god to begin our new chapter on Ancient Greece.  Lastly, Passport maps were sent home today.

Feel free to lighten your binder by filing away in your accordion folder graded and/or unneeded work!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO!!!
Have a blessed week, Mrs. Chang
