WELCOME 5th Graders!!

Reading/Language Arts
We cover new vocabulary and reading skills every Monday and continue to reinforce them throughout the week.
Spelling and vocabulary words are sent home Friday prior to the following Friday test day. 
SPELLING WORDS:  Spelling tests every Friday.  Spelling focus this year is learning the spelling PATTERN versus memorizing exact words.  The goal is to be able to spell ALL words containing the weekly pattern.
Key: Spelling words in  bold appear in the selection.
 
Vocabulary:  New vocabulary words are given with spelling, and will be covered as they appear in the text.
