We began our “Letter of Complaint” with the topic being “All Summer in a Day” today.  If students did not finish in the time allotted in class it is homework. In order to finish this letter, they were instructed to bring their Writing ISN home because it has the template they need glued in with sentence starters.  Please use the post from Winter Break to find the story and movie for evidence. Click here for the “All Summer in a Day” links

Homework

• Read for 20 minutes and respond on reading log (4 total this week)
• Letter of Complaint rough draft DUE TOMORROW

NWEA testing is approaching! (end of the month)  Please ensure that your student is reading their “good fit” book at home 5 times a week!  The only way to improve in reading is to practice reading! Talking about what they are reading will help boost their comprehension tremendously. Ask them questions about what they are reading to become involved!   You can find some great questioning ideas here! https://www.shmemorial.org/cms/lib8/NJ01912932/Centricity/Domain/55/Parent%20Flyer_Book%20talk.pdf
