This week we have been diving into transitions, adding relevant details, and beginning to add character development to our narrative stories. Last week, we were hopeful to have started writing our final drafts, however, with a shorter week we will have to make it our goal for next week! The students are still working hard at revising their stories and we are so proud of the work they're doing!
We are plugging away on our Narrative stories! The students have been very creative with making up a story or writing about a personal experience of facing a fear. Next week, we will continue revising our stories, learn about transitions, and by the end of the week, hopefully beginning our final drafts!
Happy October!!
The students worked so diligently on the Parts of Speech notes we took the first month of school. We finished up that unit with a test last week and have started our Narrative Unit! They will be writing their own narratives (personal or made up) about a time when they (or their character) had courage when facing something scary/difficult! This goes along with the stories they are reading in Reading class and I can't wait to read their first stories this year!
We have finished our Parts of Speech Unit!! 🥳The students have all worked hard and stayed focus during our notes every day the last few weeks. We took our test today and will be briefly reviewing basic figurative language next week. After figurative language, we will begin our first actual unit-Narrative Writing!
The last two weeks have been flying by already! We have started our Review Unit in ELA and your child(ren) have been doing great. We are reviewing all the parts of speech, basic figurative language, and basic conventions (things like capitalizing the first word of a sentence and proper nouns, using punctuation, and knowing what a complete sentence is).
