Week of December 3Hello Parents!
Wow what a crazy SEC championship game on Saturday! It's not the ending my family was hoping for, but congrats to Alabama! I hope you had time to enjoy the beautiful weather on Sunday. Topics this week: Reading: We are starting to dive into our new book club books! I've never seen a class so excited to READ! I love how they are enjoying digging deep into a text. After all, our goal is still to build a foundation and love of reading. We will begin our new literature unit on Folktales, Fables, Myths, and Legends. When I told this to the students, I received a bug "YAY!" We will be working on a notes page which will be added to the reading tab of their binders by the end of the week. Writing: We will be reviewing the unit on Opinion Writing. We are still finishing up our Opinion Essays in class and typing them on Google Classroom! Ask your child about our Opinion "Dance!" This week we are starting a "practice write score" to get them in the habit of reading two texts, answering a constructed response, and writing an essay. I will be helping guide students, but my goal is for them to complete this on their own. I know they can do it! Grammar: We will be continuing out unit on Prepositions, followed by the Order of Adjectives. If you haven't already, please have your child look on Flocabulary for the Preposition song and complete the "quiz" for homework. This is a great review resource! I will also be passing out a homework assignment on prepositions and prepositional phrases on Monday. Reminders:
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me. Have a great week! Have a great week! Jenn Shaffer Dolvin Elementary School E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://mrsjennshaffer.weebly.com Twitter: @mrsjennshaffer Comments are closed.
