Upcoming Dates September Nights of Reading Begins September 6:00- Information meeting for field trip November 19- BEJ Science Fair and Mad Science Night

Homework Each night Monday through Thursday, students will have homework in Reading, Math and Science. Students are expected to read each night for the 150 Nights of Reading log. We will also be receiving Time for Kids magazine that we will use for Reading homework. Math homework will look like last year’s. Science homework will vary.

In grade five, students will continue to build important reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. They will read more challenging literature, articles, and other sources of information and continue to grow their vocabulary. They will also be expected to clearly explain in detail what they have read by referring to details or information from the text. In writing, students will organize their ideas and develop topics with reasons, facts, details, and other information. English Language Arts
