Our reading skill will be to determine the point of view of a passage or text. Please see the links below for optional skills practice over these concepts. In writing, students have been working on their Fractured Fairy Tale Project. Next week, students will finish their rough drafts, take part in peer editing, and will start on their final copy. Please see the attached rubric. This writing project will be on-going over the next few weeks.
For homework, we will have our 100 minutes of at home reading assignment due on Monday, February 12. Click here for the spelling list for the week of February 2-9. The spelling homework and the quiz will be due on Friday, February 9. Many of you have already sent this homework in since we did not have to spelling last week due to MOCK STAAR. Spelling City Certificates can also be submitted by email to my email address. We do have a TimeForKids assignment for this week. On Friday, February 9, students will have to discuss the new magazine in class and will have a quiz over the “Meet the Influencers” article.
