Heritage Speech/Language Happenings
Week of 11/16/15
This week students are working on practicing speech sounds while discussing Thanksgiving traditions. They are also working on describing Thanksgiving items using the EET (Expanding Expression Tool). By using this color-coded tool students are able to organize their thoughts for a clear, meaningful description or definition.
Fifth and sixth-grade students are continuing to work on developing reading comprehension strategies, improving vocabulary and word work. My fifth-grade group has read about Jackie Robinson as well as participated in one of their favorite activities, Kahoot!
