English/Language Arts
We will now move into finding the main idea, identifying cause and effect relationships, using context clues, summarizing, and sequencing of nonfiction and fictional texts. We will also look at figurative language, in particular, idioms.
In writing, our class looked at what makes a complete sentence. We identified the subjects and predicates of sentences and wrote our own sentences, checking for subjects and predicates. We will continue working on this by learning to identify fragments and run on sentences in our own writings.
We also started our spelling program for this year. Students will have around fourteen spelling words each week along with two or three challenge words. We will have a pretest on the weekly list each Monday. Those students who correctly spell each word will not have to take the spelling test on Friday, but will still have to complete all spelling homework and attempt the challenge word on the weekly spelling test. Challenge words cannot hurt students' scores, they can only help.
