Class News for Mrs. Scott's Fifth Grade Scholars 2025-2026!!
November:
October comes to an end with spooky stories! Students have been working on their personal narrative writing skills and practicing complex/varied sentences while adding more sensory details to their stories. Our thematic book clubs are busily collecting evidence on themes. Students will work within their club to uncover a theme and write an "I am poem" about their main character. We will also discuss an upcoming independent book project called-- Feast of Characters.
October:
As September comes to an end, students are continuing their narrative work by writing about small moments and special events that helped shape them or change them. Our personal narrative writing encourages students to examine lessons and themes in their own lives. They are beginning to look at various realistic fiction novels to work in partnerships and clubs to uncover themes and examine social issues. They have been practicing writing about reading and purposeful jots. Students have started to review various ELA skills such as: figurative language, capitalization, correct use of commas, and what fifth grade sentences and paragraphs look like.
