Fifth Graders, parents and guardians!


Welcome to the Language Arts and Social Studies webpage for Beaver Creek Fifth Grade!

Please take a look at the blog and check on different posts and links for access to fun online games.

Have I mentioned you should be reading 30 minutes a day at least. Yes, and I have to keep on mentioning it again and again. Pick out a favorite kind of book whether it is a fantasy genre, mystery or a sports non-fiction book. Reading about what you like always helps.

Make sure it is in your reading level so you are comfortable with the word. And, simply sit down and read for thirty minutes. Sponge Bob can wait an episode. Reading 5 minutes here, then ten minutes there is just not the same.

Enjoy!

Homework and Class Expectations!

The amount of homework in my class will vary, but students are required to read thirty minutes every night, Monday through Thursday, and write in their reading log.  Reading is one of the most important things they can do to ensure success in school.  It helps with Language Arts, Social Studies, and, yes, even math.  Those pesky word problems are still around in middle school and high school math not to mention the AIMS test.
