5th+Grade


 * 8/29/2011: We have been hard at work and it is only the 2nd week of school. Between all the writing and reading we are doing in the resource room, we are sure learning a lot. This week we are focusing on using the "Making Connections" comprehension strategy in our reading. We are reading about "Animal Travellers." We are also working on our writing. We are focusing on main ideas and details. We brainstormed using brain research that Mrs. Ellis learned this summer at a conference. We were able to generate a lot of ideas and come up with some personal ideas that we are excited to write about! Next week, we are writing stories! We can't wait!**
