We are now at the end of Theme 4 in our reading textbook. That puts us in a review mode. Last week and this week students have not been assigned Spelling words. You should be seeing vocabulary words however for the two stories we are reading in the textbook; Alejandro's Gift and The Living Desert. I analyzed the grades in this theme based on spelling and reading skills. Based on that data we are reviewing fact and opinion, compare and contrast and test taking skills.
Students will have their vocabulary test on Thursday February 26 along with their selection test. On Friday students will take the Theme 4 test.
As far as their reading habits grade you should have noticed a weekly reading log and a book project so far. This week starting today you should see your child bringing home one passage a night from the FCAT released test. They will write their answers on the answer sheet that was given. By the end of the weekend they should have competed all 5 stories on the released test. This also will be counted toward their reading habits grade.
The FCAT is in two weeks. Be sure your child is practicing by doing their homework everynight.
Until next time,
R. O'Steen
