I hope everyone had a delicious Thanksgiving! It is hard to believe but we only have 3 weeks before Winter break! Due to a field trip, benchmark testing, and other planned activities at school, our normal Friday tests will change to other days. Please check your child's planner to know when the tests will be given.
Reading
This week our focus will be author's viewpoint. Students will be able to explain how the author feels or thinks about the subject they are writing about. Students will need to infer the author's viewpoint from facts and opinions that are stated in the text. Due to Monday's field trip and up coming benchmark testing I will be postponing tests on vocabulary (pg 260 in textbook), spelling and the selection story until Wednesday of next week.
Language
We have finished the narrative writing standard and will be moving on to the informational standard. In connection with our school theme, Traveling the World in 180 days", students will be studying and learning about the state of Virginia. This will be a class report that will be presented at our USA Tour on December 16 at 6:30p.m.
This week we will also be studying subject verb agreement and regular and irregular verbs.
Spelling
Our spelling focus for this week are words with a final "er" sound spelled with er, or, ar. Look for a focused list in the planner.
Until next time,
R. O'Steen
