Here is a look at our week:
ELA/Writing: In reading, we are learning about summarizing fiction text. Reading Groups have been formed and I have been meeting with groups last week. Please look for a bag coming home with your child’s name on it. I will be sending book bags with our books for the week- please make sure they come to school everyday!! They can be used for reading 25 minutes at home because they will be at your child’s reading level. In many books, there are also comprehension questions in the back of the book. Practice asking those questions to your child when they are done reading the book. ** Please remember to have your child bring the book bags to school daily- we also use them in our reading groups.** In writing, we are publishing our personal narratives on KidBlog. We are also providing feedback to our peers. Once blogs are published, I will share the stories with you!
Spelling: Our spelling tests will be on Friday. (Unless there is a short week/ days off). You can always find our words on SpellingCity weekly for extra practice. Students have been graphing their spelling progress in their LIM Binders and the tests are sent home graded on Mondays.
