Week of Oct. 2-6
What are we reading?
Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume
*We will be finishing this week-ask your child about Peter and his annoying little brother!*
Students will be working in groups on completing end of novel activities.
How are we like the characters that we read about in books?
We will be reading this novel over the next 2 weeks in class.
While reading, we will look at vocabulary words, complete comprehension questions and make connections.
The focus of this book will be characters/character traits and other story elements (including setting and problem/solution).
Spelling

Monday-We will take a pretest and go over their Spelling Contract for the week.

Homework for spelling for the week will be to complete 3 items on the Spelling Contract based on the words missed on their pretest. Those who make a 100 on the pretest are exempt from the spelling contract/homework as they know the spelling patterns and words and will not have to test on Friday.
Friday-Test *only on the missed words from Monday's pretest
