Mark Your Calendar


Reading: This week, our focus is on main idea and
relevant details, as well as chronological order (sequence of events). Students will be answering these types of questions in their reading: What is the most important lesson? At the END of the story? What happens BEFOREbut AFTER? During your childs independent reading time this week, take a few minutes to read a chapter in their book, and ask a couple of these questions! Writing: We are continuing to work on planning and elaboration in our writing. Last week, we worked on narratives (stories), and this week, well be trying expositories (writing to explain). Elaboration is a vital skill for students to be able to demonstrate. Students have been doing some self-reflection to determine if they are meeting the days goals and objectives. Ask your child how they rated themselves this week: exemplary, competent, developing or emerging
