We have finished Theme 1 in our reading textbook. I have not finished grading the tests yet. I will write your child's score in their planner by the end of the week. We began Theme 2 on Monday. Students should be defining vocabulary words weekly. There were many in both classes that did not complete that assignment last night. There are vocabulary tests every Friday along with Spelling tests.
This week in Reading students are focusing on Author's Viewpoint. Students will determine how an author feels, thinks or believes (their attitude) about the subject or topic they are writing about. Students can also determine why an author wrote about the topic by the author's viewpoint.
The Spelling focus this week is patterns of long a and long e. We are also working on compound words. Students are also learning the directions for a language practice sheet called Drops in the Bucket. Once we finish 2 in class you will start seeing them coming home for homework.
We are coming up on the end of the first nine weeks. Next week will mark the end of the first grading period with school being closed Friday October 24 for planning day.
Please remember to check your child's planner every night and check their reading logs for their reading practice daily.
Until next time...R. O'Steen :)
