In Language Arts today the students began learning about text features. We discussed that text features are a great resource to help us better understand what we are reading. Each day for the rest of the week we will be learning about two new text features. Today we started with maps and charts/graphs. We then checked our article of the week to determine if there were any text features within the article.
The students also began learning about authors purpose. We learned that there are three reasons why authors write: persuading, informing, and entertaining. We will continue to build upon this idea tomorrow.
Lastly, today was our library day. The students were able to go to the library and check out good fit books. We will be going to the library one Tuesdays biweekly. Students are allowed to check out two books at a time from the library. They may be able to check out more later in the year. That is the librarian’s decision to make. If students do not finish a book in the two week period, they will need to renew the book when we go to the library or it will be considered a late book. If students finish a book early or need a new one, they can quickly go to the library between 2:55 and 3:15 on Thursdays and Fridays.
Have a fantastic evening!
