GRADE 5 NewsLetter
ELA/SOCIAL STUDIES... Here’s the scoop in ELA and Social Studies! In 5th grade ELA and Social Studies, students will continue to explore Informational Text and Literature through their Wonders series. Through these readings, we will promote and develop students’ comprehension and vocabulary skills. Some of the tasks we are working on this month include sequence, context clues, as well as problem and solution skills while continuing to cultivate skills such as types of sentences and various parts of speech. As we progress through our lessons, we will begin to introduce figurative language such as idioms, personification, and metaphors. Social Studies students will also continue to explore current and past events that have shaped the United States. Next week, student will begin to check out books from the school library. Please encourage them to read at least [30] minutes a night.
