Welcome back! I hope you all had a great spring break. I've heard from a couple of students so far and it sounds like you all had a blast.
Here's what's going on for the week.
Writing
This nine weeks we are studying a new genre: Essay! We will be consuming essays. We will discuss the authors purpose, structure, and discuss/argue our opinions on certain topics. This is always a fun genre because the kids get so excited sharing their opinion. I want to make sure the kids are arguing their claim with support.
Grammar: Test this Friday over conjunctions..
Spelling: Y + inflected endings. Test on Friday.
Reading
We will review fiction for the next two weeks. We will look at vocabulary, main idea, cause/effect, etc. We will work with the story " Lost and Found" from Storyworks Jr. Towards the end of the week, I will take their first reading grade using the story, "Lost and Found".
During reader's workshop, I am reviewing the practice STAAR test with students individually. We will review the questions missed and strategies.
Social Studies: Economics
This nine weeks is all about economy. For the next two weeks we will discuss what an entrepreneur is, traits to describe them, and entrepreneurs of the past. We will study Mary Kay Ash, Wallace Amos, Milton Hershey, Sam Walton, and Henry Ford.
