I have been trying to access my blog for weeks now and it kept saying the username and/or password was incorrect. I tried having it sent to my email but never received anything...so long story short I decided to try once again and voila it accepted the same username and password I have been trying (and knew was correct) and let me have access! Hooray!!!! Now I can continue :-)
Reading Updates:
We have now finished Theme 3 in our textbook and have moved onto Theme 4. This week students will focus on comparing and contrasting while reading. This is when students tell how things are the same or different in a story. This week's selection story is Yang the Second and Her Secret Admirers. Students will have a vocabulary list and questions to complete throughout the week. Look for reminders in their agenda.
Students are still being assigned a reading log. This is being completed with a Roald Dahl book that was assigned back in December. Their reading goal for the 3rd nine weeks is 6 chapter books at least 100 pages each.
Students are also being graded on keeping their Reading binder complete. Each week they should have the anchor or focus lesson for the week, vocabulary definitions and questions from the story in their binder. I grade them on Friday of each week.
Writing Updates:
We have finished informational writing and have moved on to procedural writing. This is where students write directions for something they know how to do. Ask you child what they are writing directions for.
After we finish this genre of writing, students will begin working a book publishing project. They will get to choose what they want to publish and have a hard cover book to keep.
Important Dates:
February 14: 3rd Benchmark tests begin
February 21: Holiday-President's Day
