Reading:
3rd grade compared and contrasted the important points in two texts on the same subject.
4th- Found cause and effect events in 2 different articles.
Both classes received new spelling words. They will have a spelling test on 4/19.
Writing: The students each received the same article on animal helpers. Then some wrote a narrative paper based on the article, some wrote an opinion and some wrote an informational. We will continue doing this for 3 weeks. By the end of the 3 weeks they will have done one of each kind of writing.
Grammar: We are reviewing all the standards we have covered this year. I am pulling small groups to work on specific standards.
Projects: We got ready for student led conferences.
**Don't forget student led conferences will be on Friday April 20th anytime between 8:00 and 1:00. These are student led so your student must be with you. If you cannot come you can come before or after school the following week.
