GRADE 5

During library, RP fifth graders will continue on our path of a love of reading and lifelong learning, as well as becoming effective users of ideas and information.  A few ways we will do this is through:

• analyze the purpose and effect of media messages

• evaluate available information resources

• record bibliographic information about sources

• define plagiarism and explain why it is wrong

• complete a class research project and keep notes in Collab and NoodleTools

• recognizing the Maud Hart Lovelace award

• support second grade buddies with fiction shelf exploration
