Mrs. Miller - ELA

During our 5th grade ELA rotation, students will work on reading fluency, comprehension, literary analysis, vocabulary, phonics, spelling, grammar, and writing.  We will use a variety of resources including the district adopted curriculum Into Reading and Junior Great Books. Supplemental resources will be used for intervention and as enrichment.

Behavior Expectations:

"Be Nice.  Work Hard."

For consistency, all 5th grade students will have a behavior card to track individual behavior.  They should have this card in their backpacks at all times.  (TRACKS CARD)

Each 5th grade teacher will have their own plan for managing group behavior in their class.  

Work Expectations:

We are working to improve both reading fluency and comprehension as well as writing. To help improve writing, the following expectations are reinforced on most assignments:

• Complete sentences are required for any written responses.
• Correct capitalization and punctuation is expected.
• To aid comprehension and improve sentence fluency, restating the question as part of the answer is required.
• For responses longer than one sentence, an iRACEe response is required. Students are working on iRACE responses in ELA, Science, and Social Studies. 

*Any written assignment can be revised and resubmitted for regrading.
