Updates May 21-25, 2012

The end of the year is coming up fast! We are still working in the textbook and doing nightly reading logs. I am not assigning weekly Spelling or vocabulary words at this point however.  

Reading This week students will practice a reading strategy called QAL, question, answer, learned. We will use the reading textbook story The Golden Lion Tamrin Comes Home along with other text to practice throughout the week. Along with reading in class students will complete their DRA assessment in class this week.

 Language We will continue working on the response to literature standard. Your child should have 2 completed responses: The Paper Boy and Eggbert the Slightly Cracked Egg. This week we will write a response to poetry. These will be new grades reflected on the report card since midterm progress reports. We will also begin a focus on cursive handwriting.

Important dates
May 23..........final early dismissal
May 24..........chickens hatch :-)
May 28..........Holiday No School

Until next time,
R. O'Steen
