5th Grade 2019-2020 Assignments

Here is a fun opportunity to write a nice comment about your classmates and friends from this year. This first slide has the directions. Please leave a thoughtful comment on each slide. Take your time, this will be a keepsake and not all of our friends will return to HFCA, next year. This will be a great memory for them either digitally or if you choose to print.

Attached you will find a template for a letter to my next years class. I have included blanks for you to know where to add your sentences. You will need to highlight the line and type where it was to finish the sentence. I WILL be giving these to next years students, it is your choice as to wether to put your name on it, or leave it as a former student.

Ok, take these personality tests and let's see how we compare. Comeback and check to see what all your friends wrote. I have already included mine!

Attached is a slideshow for us to collaborate on! Watch the video using the link at the top of the page. Then follow directions to add a text box and your name. You will write something new and interesting you learned. You may not duplicate anything that someone else has written. It's a challenge! Let's see what we know!

Sorry friends, I do not know why this assignment didn't post yesterday. We will work on this today. You will have most of the afternoon to complete it, but it will not be due until Monday if you need the extra time. I am so excited to read them. Please read the directions in this doc carefully.

1. Create a beautiful Angel Among us art project from Mrs. Breen's lessons page. I put the link on the slides and I believe Mrs. Breen emailed it to you.
2. Use the link below to video your work and tell us about it. Show us your pride in your work.
This is not due until Friday. I will be giving you more time to work on it tomorrow. But you need to start today in order to get it done on time and due your best. Your video will be a Language Arts grade since speaking is part of our Language Arts. Be courageous, be open minded, be creative! I can't wait to see!

Directions are on our schedule slides and this slide show. Have fun!

We only had two in zoom. Must be a lot of problems with the internet today. The video/song link will help and hopefully these notes will too! Then try the practice. I hope the annotations stay on the document.
.

Read all of the document before you begin your experiment and observations. After you do your experiment, analysis your data and answer the questions completely.

This is scientific writing, so do your best. Remember CUPS. Tomorrow in Zoom we will talk about what you learned from this experiment. Be on time! Have fun!

Earlier this week, we learned about and practiced personification. Remember that is means giving human qualities or characteristics to nonhuman things. "The train waited patiently for the passengers to board," is an example. Finding the examples is often much easier than writing out own, but let's give it a try on the attached doc. Be creative and use expected 5th grade CUPS.

Today you will learn whether matter changes when you mix, heat, or cool matter it.

You will watch a video
read the slides and choose an experiment
Record your results on a doc

Have fun!

1. Watch "What's the Mood?" video
2. Close Read of the poem 3rd Read "A Light Exists in Spring". After reading the poem a third time, determine the mood of each stanza (paragraph in a poem) of the poem.

1. Watch the make your own scale video. Super fun, you will get to see Nora!
2. Make your own scale and use the Make your own scale doc to record your answers.

Follow the instructions on the doc. Have fun!

Idioms are another wonderful way to add interest and description to your writing. I had trouble deciding if I considered this a reading or writing assignment. Truly it is both! We need to understand idioms when we read and use them to improve our writing! Watch this video to learn more about idioms and then complete the practice.

Hi friends, I was sure that I posted a doc for you to complete your reflection of the Cool Chemistry experiment assignment. Yes, I see a couple of you have shared a doc with me and I see nothing in Classroom.

If you already shared, please copy and paste your response onto the Google doc here in classroom. You need a COMPLETE heading. I really should not need. to state this, as you always are supposed to have a heading on your work, but many of you did not put it on our Rosary Reflection and I stated in the directions that you needed one. It also should go without saying that you should always use 5th grade expectations for writing, explain means detail, and do your best.

Also, if you already shared with me, look at the expectations on this doc and make sure your work reflects these expectations.

1. Complete todays practice page
2. Practice on Spelling city for TEN MINUTES!

1. Complete todays practice page
2. Practice on Spelling city for TEN MINUTES!

1. Read about being a particle physicist.
2. Complete the doc to reflect on what you learned.

Reread the poem, "A Light Exists in Spring" by Emily Dickinson paying close attention to the way she uses personification. Answer the questions on the second half of the worksheet. The first half is X'd out because you did it last week.

Personification is yet another, form of figurative language that enhances our writing and reading. We can better relate to nonliving objects when we give them human qualities. As all figurative language does, it makes or reading more fun and easier to understand and relate to and our own writing more interesting. Watch the video, then give it a try with the practice.

Pray one Decade of the Rosary. Reflect and explain which mystery you focused on and why. Add your thoughts to the doc. A doc has been created for you. Please add the heading and your reflection. Remember all writing requires we use the expected 5th grade skills we have learned.

Carefully read and follow the directions on the slides. Please note the due date and the points. This assignment is worth more points than a religion assignment is usually worth due to its length. That is why I also do not expect you to finish today. I will include it in Mondays Religion. May God bless you as you learn more about this type of prayer!

Figurative Language:
Verb based metaphors & telling the difference between similes and metaphors
Simile or Metaphor

Follow the directions on the schedule slide and the attached assignment slides.

Read from our Finding God Book about the Rosary.

Then add your name to the shared doc and write what the Rosary means to you. Read what your friends wrote.

The Doc is posted on Google Classroom.

Read the examples of Pet Peeve Poems several times each. They are written by older students, so they will give you quality examples. Each time, think about the pet peeve the author is writing about. What it is and how the poet creates feelings in you with the words chosen. Think about which one you relate to the most. What words, phrases and figurative language really speak to you. Take your time, poems are meant to create feelings in the reader, be aware of what you are feeling. Sometimes the feels are laughter, empathy, peace, anger, sympathy, appreciation...

Then carefully and completely answer the questions that follow. Please really try to make Kami work for you, because you will need to highlight words and phrases in the poem. If you need to, you can print these two pages, do the work and then upload. I would GREATLY appreciate it if you took the time to try and upload your work back into the assignment on Classroom.

Carefully read and follow the directions on the slides. Do your best! Before submitting, ask yourself: "Is this my best?"

Please read the doc carefully. You will do the experiment (hopefully, if you have the supplies! Don't go buy them!) Answer the questions along the way IN THE SLIDES. Do not share the slides with me, submit through classroom, please! Have fun!

Sorry guys, I don't think this posted. The video link is at the top of the slides

Thinking about the practice you did yesterday with similes, today you will write your own. Keep them fun and positive.

Similes and Metaphors are a great way to enhance our writing! They add detail that help the reader get a visual of what the writer is sharing by connecting the image to something the reader can compare it to. We want our writing to be more specific. To SHOW NOT TELL!!

1. Watch the video link on the slide in our assignments for today and then complete the practice pages below. Make sure you practice using similes in your next piece of writing.

Remember this is the pick two! So for each question you need to choose the two words that fit.

We try to learn from what God teaches us and the gifts He has given us. Through the teachings of the virtues, we can become a better version of ourselves. Mrs. Wildeman 2.0! Choose a virtue that you have not read about yet and read and learn. Choose a way to show what you learned and how you will live that virtue. You choose! Draw, write a prayer, write a poem, a one pager... you choose. Put it on the slide with the name of the virtue clearly shown, your. name, and your best work!

I am adding this today, because it is a very valuable and worth while lesson and it fits perfectly in today. If you get feeling like you are bogged down today, skip your reading response and do this assignment. Most of you will have plenty of time to do both, but I want you to know if you need that option, you can take it. We will be working more with theme later this week and applying it, so watching and learning with this video is important. Enjoy!

A Virtue is a habit of doing good! Learning about the virtues and trying to live them in our everyday lives will help us to become better disciples of Jesus.

1. I have attached a link to a wonderful page with lots of information to help us learn about the virtues. Go to the link and read about what the virtues are, then click on one of the virtues on the tree that you would like to learn more about. Read what it says about that virtue and listen to the virtue minute recording at the bottom by clicking on the arrow.

https://www.golepress.com/what-are-the-virtues/

2. You will then create a "One Pager" to show what you learned about that virtue. I have attached the directions and my example.
3. When you have finished your "One Pager" take a photo of it and add it to the slides where your number is.

1. Complete the 2C roots worksheet

Below you will find a link to a Wednesday Recharge created by Father Rich. In it, he talks about what hope is, and where hope comes from. Watch this video. Make sure you are thinking about hope and what Father is saying about hope. Think about what hope means to you and new tidbits that Father shares. When you are finished watching the video, respond to the reflections questions on the doc. Let's all put our hope in the faith we have in God.

Please remember that you must check your work for CUPS regardless of the subject your are working in. Points will be taken off for every proper noun that is not capitalized. On everything you write, you should be proof reading and self correcting before you submit! Good writing and mechanics of writing are important in everything we write or type!!! The quality of our work is an representation of the care we put into it.

Attached you will find a copy of your words for this week. They are tricky, PLEASE keep up on the practice daily. You will not be required to spelling them on the test, but you will be required to know what they mean. Trust me, there are some confusing words here. I have also posted a quizlet to use for further practice. I HIGHLY suggest you make sure you practice daily. Challenge yourself to USE the words throughout the day, even if it is a random sentence out loud to a parent or sib.

Each day, beginning this week, you will read for 20-30 minutes, about 20 pages. You will then read through the choices of response sentence starters, or come up with one of your own if you have something pressing that really grabbed you to write about, and write about your reading.

I can not stress enough, that this is not a one sentence response. Please look at the requirements in the slides. The rubric is a direct reflection of these expectations. All writing should reflect 5th grade, end of the year work. The purpose of this is to read a great book and connect that to your writing. You must include specific details and examples. Think of our color coded paragraphs. Each day your paragraph should begin with that "green" general sentence stem, followed by a yellow sentence. Yellow is slow down and give a detail. Followed by several red sentences explaining in detail with examples about your reading. Then closing with a green concluding sentences that circles back up to the first sentence. So your responses will have at least 5-6 sentences.

You will be graded on your writing and your thinking. Is your writing clear? Do you use interesting words? Cups? Do you show thinking and insight about your book and connect text evidence and thinking?

I will make comments when I read your responses daily. Please take the time to read them and then apply improvements the next day.

As always, I am here for you to help in any way I can.

These are worth ten points per day. I will repost only a short version of the assignment with the ten points each day. I will not repost the slides because you will already have access to them. We will see how this works and then we may have to make some changes to how it is posted if it isn't working.

Find the Area of the trapezoids. Don't forget the units! Area is always units squared.

This assignment was going to be Friday. We will learn how to do this on Monday and then this will be your practice.

I have posted two sets of slides. One set has the reading on it. Please read and think about the phrase, "You see with the eyes of faith." How can we encourage others through these words? What can we do? Who can we thank? The second slide has a slide for each person. On a piece of paper, write those words. Then draw, decorate, write... whatever you can do to show what those words mean or how they can encourage others. Like we did with our Arnold sketch, take a photo and put it on your slide. I can't wait to see your wonderful work.

Good Luck! You got this! Take your time. PLEASE REREAD YOUR ESSAY QUESTION BEFORE SUBMITTING!!! Remember you are on a computer, so there should not be spelling errors. Make sure you use text evidence and explain your thinking. Best Work!!!

1. Read chapters 1 & 2 of the book Starting Your Own Business by Cecilia Minden on Epic Books. It has been assigned to you.
Goal: to really understand the steps in starting a business. So reread if necessary.

You will need to brainstorm ideas for your business. Decide on whether you will provide a service or sell a good. What will you make or do? Decide on a clever, creative name for your business. A name helps the consumer understand what your business does. So while it may be fun to name your business after your own names, will that help people know what your business does? Also, you want it catchy, so people will remember it.

Unit 1 Book 2: The Good with the Bad
TEST TUESDAY 4/14

Below you will find the roots for this week. There is a copy of the word list that you can down load and print if you are able to. I suggest you make flashcards as these are very difficult words. Study a few each night. You do NOT have to take a spelling test on them, but you need to learn their meaning and use them correctly. Part of your test will be using them CORRECTLY in a sentence.

Each day you are required to do a minimum of 10 minutes on Spelling city along with the posted worksheet.

We will be practicing area and perimeter today. Join me on the zoom and I will explain.

1. Complete the worksheet below.

2. Spend a minimum of 10 minutes practicing the words on Spelling City - 5 Points per day in addition to the worksheet points.

Read chapters 8 and 9 of Lawn boy and annotate. When you are finished complete the following activity. Make sure to answer completely and EXPLAIN YOUR THINKING!

Tomorrow begins the Easter Triduum. The Triduum are the three days leading up to Easter. These are the days that conclude Lent and introduce Easter. We call this hole week Holy Week. It is the most important time in our church year..

Today you will read and reflect on Holy Week by reading pages 165 & 166 in your Religion book. If you do not have your book at home, I have taken photos and posted them on Google Classroom. After you read, carefully and thoughtfully complete page 167 and turn it in. This is an important time, please answer with thinking.

Please use scrap paper to find the area and perimeter and then type your answer in the boxes. Do not forget the units. Remember area is always square units. example square inches, square cm, square m, etc

Directions: Imagine you are the Lawn Boy or Arnold. Write an e-mail to a friend or family member telling them about the events of the story from your point of view. Be sure to use details from the story.

There are three resources for you. Please begin by watching the video explaining how to do this and what I am expecting. Then, open the Directions doc and read it all completely. After that, take time to think! If you need to make a brainstorming sheet to get your ideas down before you writing. True reflection really takes time to think! Finally, open the e-learning reflection doc and begin writing. I am expecting great things!

You will need to read the story and put the words in the correct spot. Sadly, you can not type in the story doc, so you will have to find the number on the answer doc and type it in there. It is important that you copy the spelling correctly, since the words are all right there, spelling counts. Do your best.

Below you will find a direction video for our first Moving Money research project. Begin by watching the video. When you are finished you may take a look at the document with the assignment on it. We will work on this during IB for the next three days.

Thinkers can problem solve. We can think creatively to find solutions to everyday problems, big and little. Open the Google Doc Thinkers-Thurday. Read the directions. The slide show for you to read is also attached.

Today we are going to have some fun drawing the Character of Arnold. In chapter 3 Gary Paulsen describes Arnold in great detail. On a piece of plain white paper, (or notebook paper if that is all that you have) draw Arnold. Try to fill most of the paper, rather than a tiny little sketch. Make sure you carefully follow the description in the book. While we can use our imagination to visualize characters, we need to include the details that the author provides us. Paulsen provides us with a very detailed description of this character.

On the outside around the picture of Arnold write words that describe him based on what you know so far in the book. You may use character traits, things he says, or words to describe his appearance.

When you are done, use your computer, phone, or ipad to take a photo of your drawing. Add your photo onto the slides show below on the slide with your name at the top. (I have already put names on the slides, so find yours) Keep your original picture somewhere safe for use later in the book.

Have fun! Make sure to use details and colors as describes in the book.

Open the doc and read all of the directions before beginning! Good Luck!

You may use the notes we made in the Google Doc that I shared with you if you like.

Today we are going to be thinking about the challenges that characters in a book face and how they deal with them. On the attached slid, please choose one character from the book Lawn Boy and DESCRIBE a challenge he is or has faced. (Remember the word DESCRIBE means to give an account in words of (someone or something), including all the relevant characteristics, qualities, or events: the man was described as tall, clean-shaven, and with short dark hair. THEN DESCRIBE how the challenge was resolved. Please remember, that whenever we write, we ALWAYS use correct CUPS, reread it in a whisper voice to make sure it makes sense, and fully explain our thinking. You must complete and submit this through Google Classroom!

Attached find your Lawn Boy work for chapter 3. Please do it through the link in Google Classroom. Remember to reread your work to make sure it is complete.

Your Lawn Boy work will be completed here for chapter 1 only.
