Today student went down to take
their MAP Reading test. I am so proud of
the effort and strategies that I saw today.
Several students did not complete the test and will be going to finish
it throughout the week. We are also
making great progress on our DRA assessments and are nearly done! J
Due to MAP and DRA testing we are
behind on our Back to School, Mallory novel study but will get back on track
this week. This week we will also study
a story and a collection of poems focusing on figurative language and describing
the author’s use of similes, metaphors, and hyperboles. While looking at the story and the poems, we
will discuss the structure and characteristics of these two different types of
text.
In writing, we will continue our
personal narrative unit. We are writing
short stories about one moment from our lives.
We wrap up our study of conjunctions and there will be a graded
assignment on Tuesday, September 17. We will also wrap up our study of common and
proper nouns and there will be a graded assignment on Friday, September 20.
For homework, we will have spelling
homework and a quiz over the “ Long
I” list on Friday, September 20.
Our next reading log is due on Monday, September 23.
