We are going to pay close attention to how authors support their claim. My goal is to discuss transition words, examples to support their reasons, and participate in some shared writing. The class definitely has the structure down.
Here's our class anchor charts:
Grammar: Commas in a series
Spelling: Suffixes
Reading
We are reviewing literary non-fiction. We read the a literary non-fiction piece called, "Blood, Smoke, and Freedom" last week. This week we are working on the three core questions with non-fiction. Q1: What is this about? Q2: What was new to me? and Q3: Why is this important?
Reader's workshop: For book clubs we are reading books by Andrew Clements. Students will be reading and tracking their thinking. My goal is for them to work on their discussion skills and supporting their thinking with evidence from the book.
I will start DRA's next week and will continue through May.
Social Studies
We are continuing with Economy. We will discuss goods and services. We will also study the five states that have been added to the students states test.
