Vocabulary/Spelling
Vocabulary students will be working on Unit 10. Spelling students will be
working on Unit 11. I have asked the students to take their books home every
night. Hopefully, they are studying a little each night and
not just on Thursday night for their test on Friday. All vocabulary and
spelling assignments are due by Friday.

Creative Writing
This week the fifth graders will write a closing for their compare-contrast
essay. They will also complete a Fluency Check and do Word Choice. By the
end of the week, they will be ready to either do an ink copy or type it.
A compare-contrast essay tells how two things are alike and how they are
different. When you compare, you explain how the subjects are similar. When
you contrast, you explain their differences.
