Week of April 29 - May 3Dear Parents & Students!
Topics this week: Reading AND Writing: We are continuing to wrap up our book clubs this week. Students have also begun creating lists of books they would like to read this summer. We are also still reviewing all standards in order to prepare for the Georgia Milestones. Grammar: We are still learning about affixes. Students were given a roots packet for homework this week. The students have done a great job identifying these root words in their reading and also defining words that consist of these roots. We are discussing prefixes and suffixes as well. We will also be reviewing topics we have previously learned this year. We will review commonly confused words such as their, they're, there and two, too, too. We will also be reviewing compound and complex sentences. Reminders:
That's all for now! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns by emailing me directly at [email protected]. Have a wonderful week!
