Students will be given approximately 30 minutes on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday to work on their drafts. - Monday 4/1: Book project completed (Be ready to share with the other classes!)

We have weekend work this week!
We learned about types of appeals in persuasive writing and discussed how different appeals are more effective in convincing others to agree with your stance. A great example of this can be found in advertising, such as television commercials.
Students are asked to watch 30 minutes of television and keep track of 5 commercials that are shown during this time. Students will record the type of appeal that they observe and we will have a discussion when we come back to school about which ones were more effective in convincing audiences. YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, etc. do not count as "television" for this assignment.
Students who are unable to complete the assignment at home are welcome to come in before school on Tuesday to watch 5 commercials together in class so they will be able to participate in our discussion.
Thank you for your support and have a great 3-day weekend!

December Book-It deadlines are coming up!
There are some modifications to deadlines, as noted by the red print in the attached document. A rough draft for the Book-It report is not required this month, as students will need to reflect on their project after they follow the instructions in their book.
This is not meant to be a lengthy Book-It report, as students are not expected to read through an entire instructional or how-to book. It was recommended that students who do not have a lot of time for this Book-It use a how to draw book or a book that teaches readers how to fold origami.
For book projects, students can take a photo of the book / page with instructions if it needs to be returned or is otherwise unable to be brought to school on Thursday. This is just required to ensure that students used a book for their project.
Students may choose to share what they made with the class. This is not required. If you would like to share what you learned to make, please make sure that there are no peanuts.
I can't wait to see what everyone learned how to do!

Students are given time in class to work on the pages associated with each chapter of the book. We read the book together and fill in the first page (summary and annotations), then they will work with a partner or in small groups to complete the next page (this page matches our class focus and will often include a learning target). If they have time, they will be able to complete the vocabulary page, however, this is often taken home for homework. It is expected that students keep up and complete each chapter's pages each night so they don't fall behind with our class instruction.
If your child is absent, please check this page to see what chapter was completed so they'll be able to jump right back in upon their return to school.

Students will only have Spelling work this long weekend:
- Write 10 sentences (quality 5th grade sentences that use appropriate capitalization and punctuation)
- Write each word 3 times each
We will be continuing to work with these words when we come back on Monday, so it would be beneficial for students to practice their words throughout the weekend rather than rush through it all today. There will be no Reading Log or Math, although if students would like additional practice, please see below for possible work options (these will not be checked in when we return to school, but will help students practice skills we are currently working on).
OPTIONAL PRACTICE
- Continue reading at home & log thoughts/annotations on a folder paper
- Wonders worksheets (see "U1W1 home" attachments)
- Math worksheet (see attachment)
- IXL:
- A.2, A.4, A.4, A.5, A.7
- G.1, G.2, G.3, G.4, G.6, G.8
- KidBiz articles
- I-Ready Reading & Math

Our class will be going to visit the Book Fair tomorrow. If you would like to send money with your child to purchase books at that time, please put any money into an envelope or Ziploc bag labeled with your child’s name and our class number, B1-D. We will be visiting the Book Fair first thing in the morning. Students who do not bring money will be able to make a Wish List and can purchase books any time before the end of the week.

Weekly Evaluations will be held onto until Open House tomorrow, when I will explain how the evaluation was created and how to sign it.
SBA Parent Reports from last year's assessments went home today. Students were instructed to put it directly into their red folders and not take it out until they got home.

No Homework will be assigned on the last day of each week if students keep up with their homework and classwork.
I apologize for the confusion some students had concerning Reading Log. Thursday's Reading Log assignment was labeled as "no school," since there was no upcoming school on Friday. Holidays will be more clearly labeled as we progress through the year to make this clearer.
Thank you for your understanding!

Reading Log
There are two parts of Reading Log. Students were shown how to fill in the boxes and practiced reading comprehension strategies last week.
- Students are to log what book they read on the yellow paper, along with the author, and time spent reading. (Reading level is optional and can be left blank if students are unsure)
- The white pages have boxes for annotations ("what I think as I'm reading"). Students can pick any two boxes and fill in what they were thinking as they read. We reviewed Reading Comprehension strategies last week, so the words should be familiar to them. There are two boxes labeled "no annotations" and can be used both in one day or split up.
As this is the first Reading Log assignment, there may still be some confusion as to how to fill it in. We will review and answer any questions that students had tonight during class time tomorrow.
Math 1.1 and 1.2 worksheets
We had a rushed Math block today due to Lunch Monitors. We went over the concepts covered on the worksheets, but ran out of time for extended practice. Students were instructed to try their best on their homework and can skip problems if they are unsure of how to answer them.
