NO SPELLING OR READING VOCAB. QUIZZES THIS WEEK!
Math Testing: Wednesday, February 28, 2018
Reading Testing: Thursday, March 1, 2018
Our Week Coming Up At A Glance:
Writing:
- NO SPELLING QUIZ THIS WEEK!
- We will be writing a fictional story with character dialogue, and practice using our quotation marks.
- We will be working on plurals and continue our work on when to write numbers as numerals and when to write numbers in words.
Reading:
- MOCK STAAR READING ASSESSMENT! THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 2018
- NO VOCAB QUIZ THIS WEEK!
- We will continue to work on summarizing using GIST and checking our comprehension by using Author’s Portrait.
- We will continue to practice our choral reading. This is a great way to help with fluency. We read a paragraph together out loud as a class at a pace that I set. The more we practice this, the faster we will get and the more fluent we will become.
- Your child should continue reading or be read to nightly for 20 minutes and then getting their reading log initialed.
- We will continue learning third person, as it pertains to the point of view from which a story is being told. We will also be working on sensory details, imagery and figurative language.
- We will continue our novel study on, Old Yeller. The book is getting really good!
Social Studies:
- This will be our last week to study and celebrate Black History Month, and then we move into Manifest Destiny and the Westward Expansion.
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
