Homework:

Ms. Mosed’s 40 Book Challenge

• All 5^th graders in Ms. Mosed’s class will be expected to read at least 40 books this year during independent reading at home.
• You will be reading 40 (or more) books this year (beginning 9/7/17) and keeping track of the titles and genres on your Reading List sheet.
• You will be reading from a variety of genres in order to explore books you might not ordinarily read, and to develop an understanding of literary elements, text features, and text structures.
• Books that have been read (or will be read) in class cannot count, even if the student re-reads the book.
• Students may ask the teacher, librarian, classmates, or their families for recommendations, but there are no specific title requirements
• Any book with more than 200 pages will count as 2 books.
• All books are selected by the student.
• Select good fit books at your reading level. Use your DRA book graph as your guide and NWEA reading RIT score.
• Use your Reading notebook to respond to your reading.
• Each quarter you will be asked to present a “book talk” in front of the class for a grade.
• Each week I will ask you about what you are reading, which books you have added to your list, which books you abandoned, and which ones you plan to read next.
• Every Friday, you will turn in a completed Reading List.

1. You must read for 30 minutes independently outside of class. Read for 15 minutes and list the books read in your reading list. Reading/writing list is due on Friday. Also, read for 15 minutes on MyOn everyday. I will be checking your minutes weekly.
2. Math-Do 30 minutes on Khan Academy using your new RIT score and practice on iLearn for the math-a-thon. Complete the 2nd page you started in class today.
3. Writing– You should have completed 1 narrative and 1 opinion piece.

Reading Weekly Objectives:

RI 5.7 – Draw on information from multiple print or digital sources, demonstrating the ability to locate an answer to a question quickly or to solve a problem efficiently.

RL.5.1 – Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

L.5.1(b)  Form and use the perfect (e.g., I had walked: I have walked; I will have walked) verb tenses.

Writing Weekly Objectives:

W.5.3 Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences.

1. Orient the reader by establishing a situation and introducing a narrator and/or characters; organize an event sequence that unfolds naturally.
2. Use narrative techniques, such as dialogue, description, and pacing, to develop experiences and events or show the responses of characters to situations.
3. Use a variety of transitional words, phrases, and clauses to manage the sequence of events.
4. Use concrete words and phrases and sensory details to convey experiences and events precisely.
5. Provide a conclusion that follows from the narrated experiences or event.

W.5.4 Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development and organization are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.

W.5.5 With guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach.

W.5.10 Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of discipline-specific tasks, purposes, and audiences.

Math Weekly Objectives:

4.MD.C.6:  Measure angles in whole-number degrees using a protractor.  Sketch angles of specified measure.

5.G.3: Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that categories. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.

5.G.B.4: Classifying two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.

Science Weekly Objectives:

Social Studies Weekly Objectives:

5 – U1.4.1:     Describe the convergence of Europeans, American Indians, and Africans in North America after 1492 from the perspective of these three groups.

5 – U1.4.4:     Describe the Columbian Exchange and its impact on Europeans, American Indians, and Africans.

 5 – U1.2.2:    Use case studies of individual explorers and stories of life in Europe to compare the goals, obstacles, motivations, and consequences for European exploration and colonization of the Americas (e.g., economic, political, cultural, and religious).
