This week has been busy. We are filling up the pages in our interactive notebook (pictures in a future post). In reading, we are learning about: plot mountain (utilizing a diagram to figure out the parts of story), annotating a piece of text, close reading, and answering a reading response, paying attention to the criteria we came up with in class. In Language Arts, we are getting closer drafting out memorable moment. We have discussed ideas to write about, adding author’s craft, and creating a snapshot. In spelling, we finished our unit on the suffix tion, ion, sion. In grammar, we are working on parts of speech.
It is exciting to see the pieces of our academic puzzle coming together!
Taking a break from annotating “A Birthday”.
We have started to keep track of the minutes read each week. Students should be reading at least 80 minutes a week.
Congratulations to Shivanni, who read a total of 6 hours and 20 minutes this week! Keep it up- I am so proud of you!
Each reading block total number of minutes:
Block 1: 1756 minutes
Block 2: 1520 minutes
Block 5: 2072 minutes
For this coming week, let’s see if all classes can up their minutes by 200.
