Reading Comprehension

Vocabulary Writing

1. Read the folktale Sharing the Crops (see attachment p3). As you read, underline key details in the text about the landowner and the farmer. Use the underlined details to identify words that describe each character’s personality. In your notebook, write about each character’s personality. Make sure to include key details from the folktale to support your writing. 2. In your notebook, compare and contrast the landowner and the farmer from the folktale Sharing the Crops. Make sure you include details in your writing from the folktale to show similarities and differences between the two characters. 3. Read this sentence from the folktale, “The bottom half is useless grassy straw.” Think about what the word useless means in this sentence. If you removed the suffix –less from the word useless, how would the meaning of the word change? Complete the Suffix Chart (see attachment p4). 4. Create a folktale in your notebook that shows the theme kindness (folktales include a problem, solution, setting, characters, and the characters in the story usually learn a lesson. Sharing the Crops is an example of a folktale). 5. Choose additional weekly task(s) to complete using Scholar, Let’s Get Popping! See attachment p2.

Enrichment Activity/Task Packet

– 5th Grade Mathematics

– General Overview 5th Grade

This Critical Standards aligned packet of resources are designed for students and their parents who wish

to support in-school learning with activities/tasks that can be done independently and/or with a partner

at home. The packet includes activities/tasks that support the major mathematical work of the grade

with a particular focus on building grade level numeracy.

In grade 5, students’ ability to add and subtract fractions, and multiply and divide multi-digit whole

numbers supports their ability to engage conceptually with important content of the year. These

activities and tasks should each take 30-45 minutes and may be completed in any order.

How to use this guide

For each task, you will find:

• Information about the standards both content and practice that the task supports

• A description and/or instructions for the task

• Materials required

• One or more focus or discussion questions that will help deepen the learning of the activity/task
