Language includes writing and grammar. We practice one language concept a week. We do this practice in class. We often do short writing prompts in class, and every sixth week we do a writing week! If you have questions about assignments in PowerSchool, please read the assignment description first to better understand the class average and the assignment details.
Reading consists of so much more than fluency! In reading this year we focus on character traits, their thoughts and decision making, and their voice. We also focus on author's purpose, text structure, and citing evidence. If you have questions about assignments in PowerSchool, please read the assignment description first to better understand the class average and the assignment details.
Our spelling words are rigorous this year, so please help your students create good habits. Students have a monthly spelling log and reading log to help with this. Spelling lists are linked below.
