Dear Parents and Students,
Christmas is almost here. I want to thank you for the thoughtfulness and generosity in all the beautiful gifts you have given me this Christmas.
We’ve learned about human rights, and we have been reading Number the Stars, which will strengthen our reading skills. We will be working on our writing skills in January. We’ve also had grammar and spelling lessons which I look forward to seeing the children apply in their writing.
In Religion, we will be studying the sacraments with our religion book. We’ve had lessons about Advent and Christmas. We not only use the religion textbook, but read stories and the Sunday gospel in a weekly booklet called Venture. The children also look forward to weekly visits with Fr. Manu. Their participation in the masses we attend has given them a deeper understanding of the liturgy.
I wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! When we return to school in January, I hope everyone will be well-rested, ready and eager to get back to school work.
Sincerely,
Ms. Marro
Please note: The 5th Grade Summer Reading assignment below is due the first week of school.
Summer Reading Project
One-Pager
Task: In order to demonstrate comprehension of your summer reading, you will create a one-pager. A “one-pager” is designed to promote thoughtful understanding of a novel. The more creative you allow yourself to be, the more you will get out of this assignment. One-pagers, when done well, also provide a terrific review that can inspire others to read your book.
Please pick a book to read from this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/22565.5th_Grade_Reading_List
*Please use a piece of white computer paper*
The FRONT of your one-pager must include:
❖ Title of novel and author’s name displayed creatively (it should stand out) ❖ A border that reflects something significant about the novel (the theme, character traits, symbols, the setting, etc.)
❖ 2 important quotations
➢ Include a citation for each (author’s last name pg. number)
■ Ex: “Jem suddenly grinned at him” (Lee 30)
➢ If your passage is part of dialogue, include the character’s name who said it ■ Ex: “‘Thank you, darlings’”- Miss Caroline (Lee 37)
➢ A response to each quotation explaining why it is significant- a few sentences ❖ At least 3 hand drawn images that represent themes, conflicts, symbols, settings, or characters in the book
❖ A 5-7 sentence personal response to the text - draw a connection, make an interpretation, or write a thoughtful review – this is NOT a summary
The BACK of your one-pager must include:
❖ A one paragraph summary of the text that includes details about the plot, setting, characters, problem(s), and ending
❖ Your name and homeroom
Things to Remember:
❖ Images and writing should cover the ENTIRE PAGE. Very little background area should be visible
❖ Use unlined, white, 8 ½ x 11 paper (computer paper)
❖ Your name and class period go on the BACK
❖ Be purposeful about the arrangement of your one-pager. For example, have a reason for using a certain color ( write a character’s dialogue in green because green is that character’s favorite color, for example) or placing an illustration in a certain place.
