Hello parents,
I hope you had a nice weekend! Please check your emails as school has been cancelled for tomorrow, January 29th. Spelling- Sort 22, 23, 24. Focus on sort 22 this week. Students will have a spelling quiz on February 14th. Reading- We will continue looking at various passages to identify text structures: description, main idea, compare and contrast, cause and effect, and sequencing. This week we will be reviewing all of the text structures in preparation for a quiz on Friday, February 1st. Writing- We will be starting our new unit on opinion writing. Students will be able to write opinion pieces on topics or texts, supporting a point of view with reasons. Introduce the topic or book they are writing about, state an opinion, and create an organizational structure that lists reasons. Provide reasons that support the opinion. Use linking words and phrases (e.g., because, therefore, since, for example) to connect opinion and reasons. Provide a concluding statement or section. Grammar- Students will learn about comparative and superlative adverbs and adjectives. Social Studies- We are finish up our unit on Colonial America. Students will be tested on the New England, Mid-Atlantic, and Southern colonies on Thursday, January 31st . Upcoming dates and reminders:
Thank you, have a great week!
