Week of October 22Dear Parents,
As all the candy at the stores begins to go on sale before and after Halloween please think of our class for donations for small treats. Students always enjoy a little piece of candy here or there and any of these donations would always be appreciated. Topics this week: Reading: We will continue reading our chapter books, which the students are really enjoying! Some groups are starting to finish their books and they will take a quick reading comprehension quiz personalized to their book! Then we will meet as a group to choose their next book club book. In reading we will also be comparing and contrasting elements of poetry and drama. Students have a packet to to along with poetry and we will be making many notes to help students better practice and understand the elements of poetry and drama. Writing: We will start generating ideas for our opinion essays. We will also learn how to write an introduction paragraph and implement these skills in our own essays. Students will be learning about progressive verbs and ACC students will be also learning about perfect tense verbs. However, before all of this we had to take a step back and review verbs all together. Please practice identifying verbs that are going on in your every day lives. Reminders:
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me! Have a great week! Jenn Shaffer Dolvin Elementary School E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://mrsjennshaffer.weebly.com Twitter: @mrsjennshaffer Comments are closed.
