Homework is not required during Stephen Foster’s closure, so students will not get credit for any of the work done at home. However, here are some FREE online activities to keep you and your child engaged with fun and educational content during this break. Now is the perfect time to encourage your kids to study the topics covered or will be covered in class, or better yet, explore subjects that pique their interest.
The resources here were curated by the 5th-grade teachers. If you have any questions regarding this content, please refer to them. If there is an error on this page such as a broken link, please email tech@stephenfosterpta.com.

Language Arts
From Mrs. Porciuncula:
“Read daily for at least 50 minutes and record your minutes. Your parents will need to initial [the reading log] after you have read. This is also another great opportunity to get caught up with reading and be ready to take AR quizzes when they get back.
I’m working on getting NEWSELA articles on the Google Classroom as soon as I figured it out I will let you know.”
“The Reading Log has now been uploaded to Google Classroom. Students just need to log into their BUSD email account and go to Google Classroom. The Weekly Log assignment has been posted on the stream. They do not need to turn it in until they have completed it. The summary writing is only for the end of each week.”
The reading log does not need to be printed. Students should fill it out on Google Classroom and submit it there as well.

50 State Project
From Mrs. Porciuncula:
“The students who were at school yesterday received all the materials they needed to complete the project.

Here is a picture of a finished project. With being out for two weeks, they should be able to turn it in completed the Monday we come back.”
