Please keep reminding your student about spelling homework this week. We are getting into the routine but a check from home could be helpful!
Last week we worked on writing with emotional and describing behavior instead of just listing events that happen in our story. We'll also write some interesting leads and endings to our stories. This week we'll make sure we know how to edit and revise before turning in our final stories at the end of the week!
We'll be moving on to nonfiction reading skills next!
This year we will be readers, writers and thinkers in ELA. We’ll read novels, informative readers, and more! As writers we’ll work on writing the three main types of writing- narrative, informational, and persuasive/opinion pieces. Throughout the year we’ll also practice different thinking routines to help us ask questions, think critically and synthesize our thoughts on books, research, and the world!
