Reading: I have been assessing the students so we haven't been doing mini lessons. We started doing Wonder Stories. The students have to read a passage and answer questions. They must highlight in the text to show where they found their answers. We also started our Latin/Greek creations. I am excited to see what interesting words they come up with!
Writing: We finished our opinion assessments and moved on to a Halloween narrative. We are working on using story elements to help ensure there will be a clear beginning, middle and end. We partnered up with Mrs. WindRiver's class to help get feedback on our stories. We are working on adding more details so the reader can get a clear picture of what is going on in the story.
Grammar: We learned about verbs. Each group was given a different setting and wrote down verbs that could happen in that location. Next we will be learning about adverbs.
Projects: We have been working very hard in projects. The students had to really learn how to work together in order to finish their project on time. Today each group presented their project to Mrs. Jackson's class. Tomorrow I will bring their projects to the museum! The students all worked so hard. They all deserve to win the contest!
Remember conferences are on Friday. If for any reason you are unable to make it to your scheduled time please let me know so we can reschedule.
We are running low on pencils. If anyone could please donate more pencils to our class that would be great! Please don't buy the Dixon brand. For some reason our pencil sharpener does not like that brand!
