Dec 19-23
Students now have a new weekly assignment (excluding holiday breaks) to complete Mobymax Language for 30 minutes total every week, outside of school, for language standards practice.
This week, students will be continuing to read non-fiction and practice summarizing the text they read. We will be playing games like "Scoot" while reading short non-fiction passages. They will also be given a short passage to read and answer comprehension questions. I will be using this as a formative assessment to guide my instruction with them upon returning from break.
Friday, we will have a "Read in" where students are to finish reading their fictional book club book with a partner. Students can wear pjs. However, we are not briging in blankets or sleeping bags. We will also do our book exchange in the morning!
WRITERS WORKSHOP
Students will be editing and publishing their persuasive essays this week. Students will also use the rubric as a guide to self-assess and to try and reach the second writing goal set in November.
Once graded by both the student and myself, these will also be added to the leadership binder with the rubric. Ask your child if they met their second writing goal, and why or why not?
