Mrs. Lansville's Updates: 

Rotations will be approximately 3 weeks.  By the end of 9 weeks, all fifth-grade students will have completed the same assignments, projects, and novels.  It is expected that each child read 20 minutes a night.  There will be times when chapters will be assigned from the class book.  If a fifth grader has an independent novel, he/she can read from that book.  If your child is in a writing rotation, they may read a free-choice book for the nightly reading.  

Block 1 - Language Arts - 9:10-10:10 Students have selected an independent novel about a character facing a challenge or disability.  They will have three weeks to complete the book and a "Matchbook Project".  

 Block 2 - Language Arts - 12:10-1:25 - This group will be reading the novel, Wonder by RJ Palacio. Students will have nightly reading. We will work on written responses.

Block 3 - Language Arts - 1:45-3:00 - Students will be writing an accordion paragraph and eventually a five-paragraph essay.  Students will be reading about animals and using at least two sources for their Animal Battles. 

Geography - 

All three academic blocks will have a states and capitals test on October 3rd.
