Parents, I gave the students a challenge! When they read a book "just for fun", they can pick up a big index card from me and complete a short, simple "book report", which is also a book review. We will be keeping all of these book reviews in a binder that I will keep in our library area. That way, they can look and see what books their friends recommend! If they (as a class) complete 25 cards, we will have a pizza party. I realize that I may regret that number (they MAY complete that many sooner than I expected!), but I wanted to make an attainable goal and not over-shoot things!

Language Arts
ð Read chapters 3-5 in Northern Lights.
ð When the book mentions a location, see if you can
find it on your map. Highlight any place
that is mentioned.
- In your 3-ring binder, add a divider tab for "Reading" and one for "Grammar". I am going to encourage the students to keep their completed work in an organized way to help foster great study habits! After they bring their work back to class in their weekly folders and we discuss them, they will add it to their 3-ring binders.
★ Complete the vocabulary sheet for chapters
1-5. Use this as practice looking up words in the dictionary! (Don't worry about writing all of the words in the definition! Find the meaning that our author is using in the book and just write it in your own words.)
- ★ Here is a link for a Quizlet set based on these words. Feel free to use the flashcards or games to help practice the vocabulary words!
★ "Diving Deeper" Journal Entry Choices
★ The M’Kmaq Indians
had a legend about how the tides from at the Bay of Fundy. Make up your own legend that explains
something that happens in nature. (Some
examples - why a thunderstorm roars, why there is snow, how the stars got in
the sky, what makes the waves of the ocean, why an animal looks a certain way,
etc.)
If you need another example of a legend, here
is a video that you can watch!
★ Do some research
to find out about totem poles. What are
they? Why were they made? Who made
them? Write all about them and share
with the class!
Geography
- Add a divider tab for "Geography" in your 3-ring binder.
- Visit this website. Read through and review what we learned in class about the globe. Click "next" at the bottom of the page to learn more about latitude, longitude, and more!
ð Watch this video to review what we learned.
★ Here is another video that can get a little
confusing… but the Prime (or Greenwich Meridian) and the International Dateline
can just be a little confusing! Don't worry... just enjoy!
Science
- Add a divider tab for "Science" in your 3-ring binder.
ð Here is a song that helps explain the
Classification of Living Things. (Remember when we talked about Carolus Linnaeus??)
- ★ Print this worksheet that goes along with the website. As you read, fill in the blanks as you go! Put it in your folder to bring to class.
- ★ taxonomy!
