I hope you have been enjoying the weather as much as I have!!! This week we have been finishing up our beginning year assessments. Now we can begin to really work on strengths and weaknesses in our Readers and Writers Workshop.
Reading
This week students have been studying the genre of tall tales. Tall tales are stories with exaggerated events and characters. There are four examples of tall tales in their reading textbook. They have been assigned Paul Bunyan and Sally Ann Thunder Ann Whirlwind to read this week. There will be a test on these stories on Friday.
Students were also given a vocabulary study guide with the words and definitions for this week.
There is no spelling list for this week.
Writing
Students should have finished their first story and turned it in to me. We are now going to try our hand at writing a tall tale of our own. Ask your child who their character is and what their tall tale qualities are.
Important dates:
Wednesday/Early dismissal........Science benchmark
Thursday.........................M.A.P. test
Friday...........................vocabulary and reading selection tests
