Notes

Read - Students should be reading a book of choice. They are expected to make 4 entries a week in their reading logs. Entries need to be at least a paragraph in length. There is an example of the first one completed on the "Reading Log" PowerPoint. We are reading "The Misfits" together in class and will be doing examples from that book.
Spelling study
Map – test - Once students make 26/26 they no longer need to do this test. I expect that they will get these tests signed and write out any of the provinces I printed on the back 20X each.
Binder – Prep to mark - this is past due work from March – Although all work should be done there is a March Rubric at the front of the binder that should be all checked off by me and this is what I’m looking for.

This week's super spellers are Karsyn & Rileigh. To become a super speller students need to make 100% on the trial test on Monday. They are always given their spelling words for the following week on Friday so they have time to prepare over the weekend.
Keyboard - colour for finger placement and practice spelling the provinces on the keyboard using proper finger placement.
PJ Day - blanket & pillow - Tomorrow is international sleep day and we will be practicing some relaxation techniques. Students may also bring in a small stuffie.

Teacher’s Page Search and Find – I have asked the students to have someone at home re-do this activity with them so that they have someone at home who is familiar with the teacher's page. All answers must be in full sentences. I will be using this activity to assess if students are able to write proper sentences.

Grade 5
Homework for this class will usually be to finish work that was started in class that students probably should have finished. Students will have a daily morning warm-up that they will need to complete.
Reading - I expect that students spend 30-60 min per evening, 5X per week doing homewrk. If they spend 40 min finishing up things they did not finish in class then they should read for 10 - 20 min., if they spend 10 min on finishing up or if they are all done their classwork then they could spend 30-50 min reading.

Use your time wisely. If you finish I want you to research resources for mental health for teens. Create a document of URLs to share at a later time with notes about the site. ie: who would benefit from the site, what are some useful aspects, what do you like or dislike about the site and why. This research may be used for a future assignment.

Complete Morning Activity -
**Some students have not been putting these in their books and
fulfilling this responsibility during the morning time allotted, throughout the day
when they have extra time or for homework that night if needed.
We went through and checked them today and they have new copies of any they
may have missed or misplaced while I have been here. They are all to be completed
by tomorrow.** -Mr. Lynch
