SOCIAL STUDIES/WRITING EDMODO QUESTION/ASSIGNMENT OF THE WEEK:

___________________________

Social Studies: (20 minutes)

Remember that you can have the passages from Studies Weekly read to you!  Click on the timer located right above the title of the article!  It might be a nice change every now and then to have it read to you!

This week, I want you to try the three questions at the end of every article you read!

1. Using Clever, log on to #26, “Civil Rights Events” (You can read the same article in your Studies Weekly newspaper!)
2. Read / listen to the article, “Arguing for an Amendment”, and watch the video.
3. Play one of the games!
4. I have included a folder with “States & Capitals” information. If you need something to do, you may begin working on this!  We will be working on our wonderful country’s states and capitals over the next few weeks!  It’s kind of fun using the QR Code reader! 

ELA: (40 minutes)

Weekly Reading Review

Fiction: “Dining out with Joy” 

1. Read the passage.
2. Please make sure you have good, text evidence before you construct any of your answers! And remember, your answers MUST be written in complete sentences using the question and vocabulary from the question as a part of your response!  I will be emailing parents to have you redo your work if you answer with phrases.
3. Answer the four TUESDAY questions. You may answer them on paper from your folder, you may submit them to me through Office 365, type them on a Word document and email it to me, or you may post your answers on Edmodo.

Language Arts/Skills review task cards:  Since we are doing 3 ELA task cards each school day, you should begin today with task card #16…..If you are not at task card #16, you have some catching up to do!  Please remember to write your response down first BEFORE you check the answer key.  If your answer if correct, give yourself a star or a smiley face!  If you get something wrong, remember, we don’t erase our answers; we simply write the correct answer beside our original answer!  We’ve done it this way all year, so this should be second nature to you!  Just felt like I needed to provide a reminder to some of you out there!  

1. There are 60 task cards, but please don’t try to do them all at once! I would like for you to do 3 every day. 
2. You might want to keep them on a Word document, so you can add to them each day. You are more that welcome to write them on paper in the journal/folder I gave you and then make sure you look online for the answers to check your work!
3. On Friday’s, we will check our answers! (The answer key is included, BUT DO NOT LOOK AT IT UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE THE WORK ON YOUR OWN FIRST!

Reading:

Remember, the last day we were together, we made sure that each of you had TWO chapter books to take home with you!  Since we have been home now for TWO weeks, and you’ve been reading for 20 minutes every day, you should be done, or close to done, with one of your chapter books. (No graphic novels; you may read these in your free time, but we don’t use them for class work!)  This week, you will use your chapter book to complete the BOOK REPORT/Outline form.  You will find this BOOK REPORT/ Outline form in two different Edmodo folders.  One titled, “ONLINE RESOURCES” and another folder titled, “March 30 – April 3”.  This is not a typical book report.  You will be using the form I provide you to create an outline with the information from your book.  This format will be good practice constructing an outline, which we use in our writing and research! This is an assignment you will need to work on throughout this week, making sure you are ready to turn it in to me by Friday, April 3.  THE EARLIEST YOU MAY TURN IT IN IS THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 2020. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE AR QUIZ OR THE VOCAB QUIZ SCORES…..

AC:                                                       

We heard that the earliest we will go back to school is now April 24^th.  In hearing that, I started thinking about our RBQ work.  It is much more beneficial when we are able to meet, discuss, and work through it together.  I sent it home with you not knowing how long we would be out of school.

At this point, I would like for you to put your RBQ work in your RBQ folder and put it away for now.  Hopefully, we will be back together soon and can work on it together, like we are supposed to be doing!

I am putting a new activity in the AC folder for you.  You will find the “5^th Grade Weekly Reading Research Projects”.  These weekly reading enrichment projects will provide you with opportunities to learn about important topics as well as historical and present day figures, and it will also be a great way to practice important reading text structures in a more in-depth way.

You are welcome to scroll through all 32 choices and pick one each week. I know most of you have Target on Mondays, so if you do, begin your choice research project on Tuesday and work on it throughout the week in place of working on your RBQ.  Since we are just beginning this type of project, please let me know if you think it’s realistic to be done by Friday of each week, or if you need more time. 

Let me know on Tuesdays which project you have chosen for that week, and then provide a little update for me each day when you check in with me.

Email me or contact me through Edmodo if you have any questions!
