Reading
This week we are finding the Main Idea of a nonfiction text and supporting it with accurate details. We have also started guided reading!
Reading Log - Due each Friday
Your child needs to read for 20 + minutes 4 evenings out of the week. Then he or she needs to write a one paragraph response about his or her reading. I encourage the children to use the prompts on the back of the reading log.
Writing and Grammar
Adjectives, Verbs, and Adverbs are the forefront of our language focus this week.
Student will continue to demonstrate that they can generate ideas for stories from small moments of their everyday life.

Word Study
On Mondays I introduce the new word study sorts for the week. The students write their headers and sorts with me so they can teach you at home that evening. We call it 'CSEW' (Cut, Sort, Explain to you, and Write).
Each child has two sets of words; one for school and one for at home.
Tuesday and Wednesday students practice sorting their words at home and on Thursday night your child will need you to give him or her a practice test.
