This week you are going
to edit the article you wrote last week about the softball player (you may want
to add more detail, check for spelling, etc.) and then publish it to add all of
the criteria of a real newspaper article. I have included an anchor
chart entitled “Newspaper Article Criteria”to show you everything you should

We have been
very fortunate that the Grand Erie District School Board has got all of our
students log ins for Lexia® Core5® Reading. This will take the place of our reading on
Epic. Students can continue to read on
Epic for their own reading enjoyment!
I've included a link on this website...to the right
Lexia® Core5®
Reading
is an engaging and interactive program provides
all students a structured approach to six areas of reading, from phonological
awareness to comprehension. The program creates personalized learnings paths
for each student through an adaptive placement and targets gaps that
emerge.
*When
students log on for the first time, students will need to do their own auto-placement.
In the attached letter it clearly states that parents should not help their
child with this. This program is so interactive that if a parent were to
help with this, the child will be auto-placed higher than their appropriate independent
reading level.
We will be sending you student usernames in a
separate email. All passwords are: ban1

This week we
will learn about another type of rock called sedimentary rock.Sedimentary rock is the second of three types
of rocks we will be learning about.Sedimentary
rock is formed when small pieces of rock break off from bigger rocks and are
carried through water as sediment.In
time, with chemicals from water, they become sedimentary rocks.These rocks often appear to have layers.If you have seen a fossil, you have seen a
sedimentary rock!See below to see how sedimentary
rock is formed.You will then see some
of the different types of sedimentary rock and how they are each made.
A)Think about the sentence on the left, and visually match it to
the sentence on the left.
B)Fill in the
blanks to find the origins of the sedimentary rocks with the following four
words:
mud sand pebbles shells
I absolutely love the looks of some sedimentary rocks.Here are some that I have:
