I am going to be absent tomorrow so I am going to write the blog post for tomorrow in this post.
During Language Arts today the students were given time to practice with adjectives. We also learned about comparative and superlative adjectives. The students have the opportunity to do extra practice with these ideas on IXL. Remember, this is due NEXT Friday.
With the remainder of class time, the students worked on their theme projects. While the students were working, I met with kids to review the introductions they wrote in class yesterday. I did not finish and plan to do so on Monday during SSR.
Progress Reports for Language Arts were sent home with students today who have a 70% or lower in Language Arts. I told students I would give them until Monday to get late work turned in and increase their grade. Students who do not do this by Monday will be getting a phone call home from me to notify families of their progress. Please ask your child if they received a Progress Report from me or check Parent Connect.
Tomorrow, the students will be doing SSR. With the remainder of class time, they will be finishing their theme projects. Projects that are not completed by the end of class must be done for homework over the weekend. They will be presenting on Monday.
For your planning purposes, we will be taking our Unit Three Test on Tuesday. This will include comprehension questions from the story,
“The Good Deed” as well as whichever story the students are presenting in class on Monday. This will vary depending on the story each child chose to read. The students will also be asked questions about theme and making connections. They can use their interactive notebook and their presentation to study. They will be allowed to use their literature book while taking the test.
