We are already at the end of Theme 2...I can't believe it! Time is just flying! Since we are at the end of the theme we are at a point called Monitoring Student Progress. Because of this there will be no new spelling list or vocabulary words this week. Our week will go something like this:
Reading
Monday we will review and finalize our focus on Main Idea and Supporting Details which we started last week. Tuesday we will take our skill and selection test on Main Idea and Dancing Rainbows.
Wednesday and Thursday we will read aloud and discuss the next two stories in the text; Miss Rumphius and Celebrating the Chinese New Year. Friday students will take a comprehension test on these two stories.
Language
As noted before there will not be a spelling or vocabulary list or test this week or next. We will work on various grammar skills through the week with a focus on singular and plural nouns.
Writer's Workshop
We have been focused on the Narrative standard in Writer's Workshop all year so far. We will being this week to move to a new standard-Informational Writing or Report writing. We will be working on a class project. Ask your child about his or her topic!
Students have been doing a great job of keeping up with their reading logs for their reading practice!!! Please continue to read with your child or ask about what they are reading at school and at home.
