Next week, we will complete
“Book the Fourth” of Tale of Despereaux by
Kate DiCamillo. Before Spring Break, a
letter regarding the at-home Tale of
Despereaux project went home. Click here for a copy of the project letter. The project is
due on April 16, 2018. In reading, we will continue to focus on the
reading skill cause and effect. We will
also review persuasive text and will be reviewing elements of persuasive
language. Please see the optional
practice links below. The week of April 9,
we will be reviewing nonfiction text features. If you have any child-friendly
magazines or newspapers that you could donate to a scavenger hunt activity,
please send them in. We are also running
dangerously low on glue sticks are would greatly appreciate any donations.
This week students will continue their unit on persuasive
writing. Please see the optional
practice links below. They will also
have time to continue their Fractured Fairytale Project. In grammar, we will
focus on prefixes, suffixes, and root words.
Please see below for practice links.
I highly encourage students to look at the ones on Flocabulary and
Education Galaxy. There will be a graded
assignment over these skills on Wednesday,
April 4 and a quiz on Friday, April
6. Please click here to see the attached studyguide.
