Feb 6-10
Students should now be in a routine of completing 30 minutes of Mobymax Language total every week, outside of school, for language standards practice. This will help them with spelling patterns, grammar, prefixes, suffixes, and all 3rd/ 4th grade language standards.
Last week students wrote a Non-fiction Reader's Response Letter on their completed biographies to demonstrate comprehension as well as continued to make progress on their 40 book challenge.
This week, students will be assigned a new book club book. We will be studying historical fiction. Students will be working on merging fiction with non-fiction comprehension methods. We will practice comparing and contrasting these methods. Students will also spend a great deal of time talking about lessons and themes that develop out of each of the new book club books.
Please ask your child what new book club book they are reading in class as well as what just right books they have chosen.
WRITERS WORKSHOP
Students are continuing to draft and revise their non-fiction text/area of expertise.
This week students will write and introduction and conclusion for their books as well as continue adding sub topics and text features to their writing.
