Welcome to 5th Grade!

We are very excited to have you join us this year. We have designed this blog to serve as a way for you to gain information. Listed above you will find a copy of our spelling and vocabulary words for the year. Also above is a copy of our book reports. You child is to complete the books reports at home. He/She will have one due every 9 weeks. There will be other book reports, but your child will have classtime to work on those. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Thank you.

What is DGP?

Daily Grammar Practice is a program that helps kids apply and understand grammar concepts and to remember them forever. It is a simple, logical process that actually forces grammar concepts to move to long-term memory. The key to GDP is that it is daily!


What are we doing each day during DGP?

Monday: Students identify the parts of speech in the sentence (noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, adjective, conjunction, preposition, and interjection)

Tuesday: Students add punctuation and capitalization.

Wednesday: Students identify the subject, predicate, and prepositional phrases in the sentence.


Thursday: Students identify the sentence type and sentence purpose for the sentence.

Friday: Students will diagram the sentence.
