I will not be at school today due to a funeral. I will miss being with the kiddos today.
This week will be a review & Assessment week in Language Arts....
The students will be reviewing the skills in reading, grammar, spelling and writing this week:
Grammar:
Different Types of Sentences
Common/Proper Nouns
Independent and Dependent Clauses
Subjects/Predicates
Compound /Complex Sentences
Spelling- There were 125 words (including bonus words) that were taught this grading period. I will select 25 words (5 from each of the weeks) to test the students over. The UNIT spelling test will be on Wednesday. The students can prepare for this by looking over their words on the spelling sheet that they need to bring home each night!
Reading: We will be review and doing activities to practice: Summarizing, Character, Setting, & Fact and Opinion. There will be a comprehension assessment on Thursday and Friday. To prepare for this the students just need to remember to TAKE Their Time and to Read and Reread as needed!
VOCABULARY!! There will be a Vocabulary assessment, the students will be assessed over the Vocabulary Terms for Unit 1- They will receive a typed list of words and definitions....This is a great opportunity to study these words at home!!!
PARENT NOTE: Ask them for their list!!! This will help to go over the words, the assessment is on Thursday morning.
Have a Great Week!!
