Reading - This week my reading group will be reading Chapters 3 and 4 in Ghost Cadet. Many days we will not read the entire chapter in class. It is very important that the students complete the reading portion of the homework to be prepared for class the next day. We'll begin meeting in our Literature Circles discussion groups this week. We'll also have a chapters 3-4 vocabulary quiz on Friday.
Writing- They've finished the battle books, and they look great! We've started working on a narrative that we're writing for a contest. The Georgia National Fair hosts a yearly writing contest for 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students. We're all creating entries for the contest, but only one entry per grade level can be submitted. We can't wait to share our "fair bear" narratives.
Language - Mrs. Arant will be working on diagramming sentences, sentence parts, and simple and compound sentences with the students this week.
Social Studies- We will have our first Social Studies chapter test on Wednesday. The test will cover all of chapter 3. I've created a study stack online to serve as an additional study tool for the students. You may visit www.studystack.com and use my login mandygarola. The students should have the password recorded in the assignment pad. Please use this valuable study tool in addition to the class notes to prepare for this test.
Have a great week!
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns!
