They need to have a total of 4 text to text, world, and self connections paragraphs of at least 5 sentences each by the time they finish the book. They are working on individual projects to demonstrate their understanding of the book. These were shared in class on Wednesday and Friday. There is no additional homework. Fifth Grade Fifth grade students are to finish reading The House of Dies Drear by Virginia Hamilton. They are to have a text to self, text or world connection paragraph. Paragraphs must be at least 7 sentences. They are working on a flow map, bubble map and character flow map for two weeks from now. (There is no school next Thursday, so no class.)
