You should have seen the report cards that came home last week by now along with the updated mid-year assessment page. I am so proud of how well the students did the second nine weeks!! You should have also received a survey last week in a white envelope.
Thanks to all who have signed and returned all three. If you haven't yet they can still be turned in this week.
Reading
This week in reading our focus will be inferring. This is when students use text clues along with personal knowledge to understand things not directly stated in the text. We will be using the story Dear Mr. Henshaw. Students should define the vocabulary on pg 414 and answer questions on pg 432 throughout the week. Look for reminders in student's planners.
Reminder: reading logs and student planners still need to be signed every night.
Writing
We will continue our study of procedural writing. By the end of the week students will be ready to write their complete paper.
Spelling
This week's words focus on suffixes. Look for the pretest to come home on Monday.
