We are wrapping up the unit starting this week. Students have been focused on Author's Viewpoint, Categorizing and Classifying, Noting Details, and Main Idea with Supporting Details. You can look in their readers notebooks to see classwork on these topics.You should have seen tests coming home on all of these focuses.
This week students will not have vocabulary words assigned, they will keep a list of words they don't know as they read the two stories for this week. I will collect the words on Friday. Their spelling list will be a review of all long vowels.
You should be seeing your child reading and logging in daily. Ask your child what they read and logged in to reinforce comprehension.
Starting this past Friday you should have seen their weekly reading assessment test stapled in their Friday folder. This is the test I shared at Open House. We can now tear them out of the book, so I will be stapling them in the Friday folder for you to see and review with your child. Students are allowed to bring home their reading textbooks any time they need to so feel free to read the story with your child then review the mistakes on the tests. Please leave them however in the folder as I need to file them in their portfolio throughout the year.
Lastly, report cards will be coming home on Friday, November 14 and we are already half way through the 2nd nine weeks, so the new progress report will be coming home shortly.
Thanks for all you do!
Until next time...R. O'Steen
