Reading: This week the students learned about theme. We talked about how theme is the moral of the story or lesson the author wants the reader to learn. We read different books and discussed what the theme of the story could be.
Writing: We finished up the best animal opinion writing.
Grammar: This week the students learned about coordinating conjunctions. They practice putting two independent clauses together using a FANBOYS conjunction.
Projects: The students continued working on their 51st State.
Misc: Tuesday is Halloween. The students can wear their costumes to school. Please no masks or weapons. We will have a school wide costume parade in the morning and party in the afternoon. It should be a GREAT day of fun!!
The students all received new dictionaries from the Rotary Club this week. They were so excited. They want to take them home but I asked them to leave them at school so they can have them to use. At the end of the year they can bring them home.
