Well here we are already in November and into the second nine weeks. This week will be a short one but we will continue on in our reading textbook.
Reading
This week we will focus on Topic, Main Idea and Details in Reader's Workshop. Our selection is Mae Jemison: Space Scientist. Vocabulary words are on page 208. In addition students will also need to study: mission, reusable, specialist, weightlessness.
Students are doing a wonderful job of reading and logging in! Many students we able to go to the Tricky Dog Show Friday because of their diligent reading through the first nine weeks. Keep up the GREAT work!!!
Writing
We have finished up the narrative writing genre for now and will move onto persuasive writing. This where students will write to convince an audience to their way of thinking. Ask your child what they are writing about.
