Students will complete a days worth of work in packet form. The assignments will be a review of skills, and other foundational reviews for 5th grade standards. I will be available via email, mmarkfort@rcw.k12.mn.us all day (7:30-3:30), and will respond as best as I can, as quickly as I am able.

We use a variety of different practice, and review websites in our classroom to continue working on 5th grade skills. Students are able to log into IXL and or Prodigy at home to continue their work. Please never hesitate to reach out if they are in need of their username and passwords to do so.
We are currently using the 2020 Minnesota State Reading Standards. These standards are what drives our instruction, practices, discussions and assessments. The MN state reading standards that are on the 5th grade report card are as follows:
