Reading Focus

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.5 Know and use various text features (e.g., captions, bold print, subheadings, glossaries, indexes, electronic menus, icons) to locate key facts or information in a text efficiently.

Students will continue to read historical, scientific, and technical procedure texts as they pertain to time, sequence, and cause/effect. We will wrap-up our concentrated opinion writing focus this week as our students present their individual book awards of their favorite books to guest readers. (CCSS. ELA-W2.1, and RL.2.1) Our grammar focus will be to correctly use adjectives and adverbs and to choose between them depending on what is to be modified. (CCSS.ELA.L.2.1.E)
