Adventures in Literature

5th Grade
We had a great week! This week we started reading our new chapter book. So far students are loving it! We also did our reading MAP testing. Students did have time this week to begin working on their summer reading book report. This can be found on Google Slides in Google Classroom. You can check over their work before they turn it in on September 20th.
Next week we will be learning about the six parts of the plot diagram. Students will be adding to their literature notebooks. We will do some practice activities and will continue reading in our chapter books.
Mark you calendar, there will be a literature test on September 26th over characters, setting, conflict, and plot.
Note: I would encourage you to have your student reading at least 10-20 minutes a night. Many studies have shown how much reading skills are improved by nightly reading. Also, please occasionally have them read out loud to you or to a family member or even a stuffed animal. When students get the opportunity to read out loud it helps with fluency. Fluency is key in helping students with comprehension.
