It was great seeing everyone at the Holiday Boutique this weekend!
Here is a look at our week:
ELA/Writing: In writing, we are still producing opinion writing. This week, students are researching on their own and starting their own rough draft stories. In ELA, we are focusing on identifying text features in nonfiction text and discussing how text features help readers. *Reading logs are being sent home this week and need to be colored in nightly* We just got an update on Book-it (a reading program that is sponsored by Pizza Hut) and I was waiting to get their reading logs so we can start the process! There is a reward that happens when students read nightly for the whole month. This should encourage more reading and accountability with students! Keep checking to see book bags are being taken home nightly as well.
Spelling (Week 11): 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.
Week 11: (Please encourage studying at home, I have noticed a big decline in spelling scores overall the last couple weeks!)
