Reading Week of November 23

This is a short week to say the least! But the learning must go on :-)

Reading

Due to the extremely short week the students will not have a reading focus, reading selection from their reading textbook, or vocabulary list this week. There will be no tests toward their reading grade this week either.

Monday we will take our third reading monitoring progress assessment. These are county scheduled assessments and are not part of the students reading grade. They are to be used to help determine which students are still have difficulties with FCAT type questions and standards.

Tuesday I have planned some fun yet still educational activities for the class during reader's workshop.

Students will still have a new reading log for this week. I have told them I expect them to read and log in everyday except Thursday they may skip if they want or need to.

Spelling

None this week

Language

We will start a study on singular and plural nouns. Comparing them to the common, proper and pronouns we have already learned.

Writer's Workshop

We will continue working on our narrowed patriotism reports in class.

Important Dates to Note:

Wednesday November 25-Friday, November 27.......No school Thanksgiving Holiday


I hope everyone has a safe, fun and yummy Thanksgiving holiday!
Until next time,
R. O'Steen
