I can't say how proud and impressed I am with both classes this year. The students continue to move right along with our daily routine. They had their first reading journal and reading log check this week and I think just about everybody had theirs and were doing great! Keep checking reading logs nightly and ask your child what they are reading about everyday.
Reading
We have begun our reading in our novel, The Lightning Thief. Students will continue to read in class and read their choice of book for their reading log. Students will have in-class activities and quizzes on the novel.
You should have seen the reading log coming home this past week. Students are assigned to read 5 times throughout the week. Most students did very well on their summaries this week and kept up with their reading.
Writing
Students have been working on details, elaboration and conventions of writing for the last couple of weeks. We will begin narrative writing soon.
Spelling is incorporated into their grade through application in their writing. Students will also have other spelling activities during class throughout the year.
