5th Grade AC ELA

Homework: Some students need to finish their "non-fiction close reading" for homework.  They are reading their social studies text closely to analyze the points of view of various people regarding child labor. 
We are all going to the computer lab to FINISH our Character Analysis Brochures tomorrow.  Each student has a yellow rubric that shows exactly what is expected in each part of their project.  Please check with your child to see how they are progressing.  They can work on this at home and bring their work back and forth on a flash drive.  We are using Microsoft Publisher. 
Today we started an informational piece of writing.  They are writing about the average workday of a person in the job of their choosing.  This piece is for a test grade.  For a timed writing piece, the students are allotted 2 hours.  For this piece they are getting 2 hours and 40 minutes.  Therefore, all writing is due at the end of class on Friday. 
Thank you for talking to your children about these assignments and making sure they stay on task right up until the holiday!
