Literacy
We are writers and readers
Informational Writing
We will continue our writing as we move into expository writing. Our focus will be informational with our purpose to inform. Your student add to their expert lists. The expert topics include places he/she knows well, jobs/responsibilities, activities, sports, people he/she knows, or animals. We will continue to develop our areas of expertise as we write informational pieces. The purpose of the next few weeks will be writing to inform. We will work on main idea and support details in our writing.
We will continue to focus our writing on topic or experiences that interest us. We will write from our hearts and our expert lists.
Join us for Family BINGO
We will have a family BINGO for 4th and 5th grade families on Wednesday, March 16th in the Green Gables Cafeteria from 6-7.
Writer's Notebook
I encourage your student to continue writing at home in his/her writer's notebook. We have learned narrative, explanatory, opinion, and poetry.
Readers are Writers
As you read with your student, ask question about how he/she could try what you notice in the book, in their writing.
Reading
We will take a look into the point of view in reading. We will also compare texts for similarities and differences. We will build on our prior learning of theme, main idea, and character traits.
The reading homework will continue with 100 minutes a week.
