A look back at this week...…
Reading: The students read expository text stories this week.
We focused on the following skills: text structure (compare and
contrast), context clues, ask/answer questions, and Greek roots.
Language: We worked on adjectives that tell what kind or how
many plus the order of adjectives. Additional daily practice
was used to help reinforce all 5th grade language skills.
Writing: The students wrote a paragraph about their spring
break this week.
