Hello parents,
I hope you had a fantastic weekend! Spelling- Sorts 22, 23, 24. Focus on sort 23 this week. Students will have a spelling quiz on February 14th. Please note that this is one day earlier than normal due to the holiday on the 15th. Reading- This week, we will begin comparing two stories written by the same author. The goal is for students to compare and contrast the themes, settings, and plots of the stories. Writing- We will be working on our unit on opinion writing. Students will learn to write opinion pieces on topics or texts. Their writing will include a point of view supported with evidence from the readings. They will learn to introduce the topic or book they are writing about, state an opinion, and create an organizational structure that lists reasons. Students will use linking words and phrases (e.g., because, therefore, since, for example) to connect their opinion and reasons. They will provide a concluding statement or section. Grammar- Students are learning about comparative and superlative adverbs and adjectives. In addition, students will begin learning about prefixes. Students will have a quiz on Thursday, February 7th. This will cover commas and quotations in dialogue and superlative and comparative adjectives. Science – We are working on our unit on fossils. Students will have quiz on Friday, February 8th. Upcoming dates and reminders:
Have a wonderful week!
