In Language Arts today the students spent time practicing prefixes. We also reviewed what prefixes, suffixes, and root words are.
The students also reviewed poetry vocabulary and how to analyze the rhyming pattern. We practiced with a new poem today titled “The Pasture”. After analyzing the poem, we went back and reread part of “The Good Deed” which is a story we read before break. We then reviewed making a connection because the protagonist (Heather) reads “The Pasture” in the story. The students were asked to write a CER response making a connection from “The Good Deed” to “The Pasture” for homework. This is something we have practiced before an an example of how to write this CER can be found in their interactive notebooks. I have also typed up the poem on this blog post for students to use for textual evidence.
“The Pasture” by Robert Frost
I’m going out to clean the pasture spring;
I’ll only stop to rake the leaves away
(And wait to watch the water clear, I may);
I shan’t be gone long.-You come too.
I’m going out to fetch the little calf
That’s standing by the mother. It’s so young
It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
I shan’t be gone long.-You come too.
At this point, grades are completely updated based on what I have received from students.
Have a great evening!
