I am so proud of the hard work, focus and effort students put into the FCAT Reading and Math tests last week! We now only have two more days. This Tuesday and Wednesday students will wrap up the FCAT with the Science test. Please continue to encourage your child and to do their best and make sure they S.E.R.F.: sleep, eat, rest and focus! Also because of the testing, two 80 minute tests, we will not have a focus story, vocabulary or spelling again this week.
Reading
In reading we will continue our practice of visualizing while reading along with working with author's purpose and theme in stories.
Students should also still read and log in each night Monday thru Thursday. Last week I did not assign reading logs due to testing. This week students will be assigned reading logs.
Writing
Students will wrap up their study of report writing with a focus on conclusions, visuals and bibliography. Their report will be due Wednesday, May 2. They can type or hand write their report.
We will move on to response to literature by reading text together and discussing what the text was about and what their thoughts and feelings were about the book.
