My Fifth Grade ELA Syllabus

Classroom· Uncategorized

Happy Wednesday, friends! I asked earlier if y’all wanted to see what my syllabus that I give out at the beginning of the school year looks like and y’all did, so here it is! Now, I didn’t make an editable template for y’all, because everyone’s class is set up differently, so I didn’t think it would work for anyone. I’m just posting this so you can get an idea of what mine looks like and what I put in it. We go over this syllabus on the very first day. I have the kids take it home and their parents/guardians have to read it and sign off that they have read it and understand it. I collect those slips and keep them all year. I make the students leave this syllabus in the very front of their binder in a clear page protector. This way, if anything comes up throughout the year, I can refer back to the syllabus. 
Like I said, we go over this on the very first day of school. If you want to know what else we do during the first couple of days, let me know and I’ll work on a post! 🙂

    This syllabus is fantastic. Is it in your TPT store or is there a way to get it in PDF or word. It comes sooo close to the set up of my readings block.

    Thank you for sharing! Could you post about what a day in your room looks like? How often you do a novel study? I am moving to a 90 minute ELA block and am looking to find the best ways to structure this!

    I love this!

    Could you share the format you use for the weekly reading response letter of the week? I am assuming they will respond to their independent reading using the comprehension skill of the week somehow?

    Can't wait to see a letter of the week!

    This syllabus is amazing. You should definitely make this an editable template. I know each teacher is different, but this is similar to what I do, and this syllabus is beautiful and I'd love to use it!

Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become a kindle girlie during the winter months, but I have no clue why. I usually always prefer a physical book, but here lately I’m glued to my kindle. I remember this happened to me last winter, too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m flying through my TBR though, so let’s call it a win!

November reading wrap up Yall, I’ve been so bad November reading wrap up

Yall, I’ve been so bad about posting my monthly wrap ups 🤦🏼‍♀️ That’s definitely a goal for the new year because I miss them so much!

Anyways, here’s what I read in November. It’s been a weird reading year for me, so it’s kinda all over the place. A couple of 5 ⭐️’s, but also some definite duds lol

Have y’all read any of these? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks for the tagged publishers for the gifted copies!

Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ball Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ballard’s newest rom com, All I Want is You! I love this author, so I’m excited for this one. 🩷📖🎄

Synopsis:
All Jessica has ever wanted is her own happily ever after. But until that happens, she spends her days as a small-time romance writer, penning satisfying Happily Ever Afters to soothe the heartache left by her ex-boyfriend Nick—also a romance writer and now her biggest rival—who has found success writing love stories without happy endings. It’s what he’s good at, after all . . .

So when their professional obligations bring them to a remote inn a few days before Christmas, they’re a little more than peeved, especially when they get trapped sharing a room in a snowstorm. But what’s more fitting for two romantic writers in a slump? Realizing the friction between them might be the only cure for their writer’s block, they decide to turn their frustration into fiction . . . and the pages start flying. But will Jess’s heart soar, too? Nick is the last guy on earth she should love . . . but what if he is really all she wants for Christmas?
What I read this week 🩷📖 It took me all wee What I read this week 🩷📖

It took me all week to read The Favorites by Layne Fargo, which usually means I’m not loving a book, but I’m thrilled that’s not the case with this book! It was just a super busy week for me so I didn’t read as much every day as I wanted, but I absolutely LOVED this book! It releases January 14, so mark your calendars now! I don’t even love figure skating/ ice dancing (honestly I’ve never even heard of this) and I still was obsessed with this book. Highly highly recommend!

Thanks for my early review copy, @atrandombooks

Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. do Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. down. 1000% obsessed. It releases in January, so put it on your TBRs NOW! Oh my goodness I’m loving this book!

Synopsis:

She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.

Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.

As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines
