5th Grade Lesson Plans: October 2014

We took two weeks (October 6th- October 17th) off as our ‘Fall Break”, so these assignments are only for the last two weeks of October. (The first week is scheduled with my last month’s plans… which were done before I started this blog! If there’s any desire to see these, let me know and I’ll be glad to post them for you!)

These will be Weeks 11 & 12 for Miss Thing (Days 51-60).

(For guidelines about how we break Miss Thing’s schedule down daily, please check out our “5th Grade Daily Schedule”.
