Reading: We will continue focusing on the theme of persistence as well as main idea and summary through a narrative nonfiction StoryWorks story, The Search for Pirate Gold. Our Genre Bingo Card has started over for the second half of this semester. Students will use the same card until December. If they are crossing over an existing bingo, they still need to pick a 5th book elsewhere on the card. Also don't forget that a Reading Check-In on eCLASS is due every Friday under the Second Nine Weeks. The Wordly Wise Quiz for Lesson 5 has been moved back to this coming Tuesday, 10/25.
Writing: We will start our "Essay Boot Camp" this week!
Grammar: We will continue to learn all about verb tense through a selection from the Anansi the Spider stories we will read together, How Spider Got a Thin Waist.
