- Make sure to check and initial their Panther folder daily for behavior notes and school/community information.
- Check their blue Homework folder for any assignments. Remember all homework is given Monday and due Thursday with the exception of spelling tests, which will be administered on Friday.
Reading
As readers we use different strategies to help with tricky words we encounter. We also delve into our schema, i.e. prior knowledge, to understand those tricky words. Sometimes stopping or skipping isn't enough. We have to read through then come back to check for meaning. If all else fails, we use resources such as a dictionary or another reader.
Students will be expected to have at least one library book within their colored dot.
Reading Skill
Characters are an essential part of any story. This week we zone in on identifying key characters and their traits. We then support our thinking with text evidence. For example, Mrs. Gorf was mean because she turned her students into apples.
Writing
As writers, we prepare our stories for future publication. We look at our work through different lenses and meet with others for revision and support.
Grammar
We will continue to write using complete sentences. We'll focus on combining subjects using the conjunction and. They should apply knowledge to their own writing as well as others.
Spelling
This week we focus on adding -ed and -ing. Although students are expected to master these words, applying the phonics rule will aid in their writing and reading.
