Third Week of School

This week the students review prefixes, suffixes, and base/root words. The students engaged in various activities making words from prefix, suffix, root/base word cards (and sometimes making up new words and what they would mean!)

Word Work began this week. The students have various strategies throughout the week to help them practice their words. This week we did word sign, rainbow write, and ABC order. Their assessment is Friday.

The students also began Social Studies this week, as well. They got to know their textbook with a textbook scavenger hunt and began learning about United States Geography.

Second Week of School

The second week of school we have been busy setting goals for this school year, keeping informed with CNN Student News, and reviewing parts of speech (nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections). We had lots of fun activities reviewing and learning the different parts of speech!

Adjective Activity: (describing objects)

Verb and Adverb Charades:

Back to School!

Hello and welcome back to school!

The first week of school was a lot of fun getting to know all the students and creating a positive classroom community. We also created our classroom expectations keeping in mind our school's core values (work, respect, and belong).

I am looking forward to a great fifth and sixth grade school year! Please continue to view the blog for weekly updates!
