Hello! This week we are continuing to practice inferring and supporting an inference with text evidence. Students received their Language Arts workbooks yesterday, and we are using the workbooks to sharpen our ability to find strong text evidence today.

Our first inference quiz will be this Friday, September 20th. Friday is also a half day.

Please make sure you bring in a folder with 3 metal prongs to leave in ELA if you have not done so already). We will be setting up these folders with growth goals for the year in a week or two. Please make sure you have brought one in!! If you cannot get one, you may bring in 25 cents to buy one from Ms. Skrbina.

Happy Friday the 13th!

Yesterday and today our focus in class has been making inferences and using evidence to support our inferences. Today we practiced making inferences with pictures, and we are getting ready to up the difficulty level and work with longer texts next week.

We also completed our first weekly Friday Check In quiz this week. These check-ins are an opportunity for students to reflect on their progress and see how confident they are with our learning targets- and to see where they still need help!

If you have not turned in your Summer Learning summary and image collage, please make sure that you bring it in by Monday.

Enjoy your weekend! Relax and read your good fit book! 🙂
