A "Family Times" purple sheet will be given to each student with each new selection. It will be in the student's ELA folder. It will give you insight into our week...including a summary of the story, vocabulary, and our grammar focus. I encourage families to try the suggested activities. If you do, please send me a note explaining which activity you tried with your signature.
Also, remember that all 5th graders are to read a minimum of 25 minutes each night.

Reader's Notebook
All 5th graders are responsible for maintaining a Reader's Notebook.
The Reader's Notebook is to be used with independent reading books. It contains guidelines for weekly questions, directions and due dates for projects, and a reading log which should be updated regularly. Each entry must be a paragraph written in complete detailed sentences and should include the title and author of the book.
