Reading Week of Sept. 22

Curriculum Notes for this week:

Spelling

This week our Spelling focus will continue to be short vowel stand alone with our list using the o and u. Words will be in the planner.

Language

This week we will focus on types of sentences: statement, question, command, exclamation.
We will also continue to focus on the narrative standard and write our own stories in writer's workshop.

Reading

Our reading focus this week is making inferences. This is when students have to use text clues and what they know from real life to figure out something in the story. This skill along with main idea will be one of the hardest we work on this year.

Our story is Mulan. Students will be assigned the vocabulary words on page 52 and questions at the end of the story.

Students should be bringing home their reader's notebook, reading textbook and reading log to complete assignments and study throughout the week.

If you have any questions please let me know. A note in the planner is the quickest.

Until next time,
R. O'Steen
