We are beginning our first novel, Charlie Bumpers Vs. the Teacher of the Year, by Bill Harley. Students have received Ch.1-5 vocabulary handouts, vocabulary cards (review matching activity), and novel packets. Comprehension checks will be administered every two chapters. Throughout the novel we will be practicing reading strategies, specific skills, and constructed writing responses.

Myon is a feature of the Accelerated Reader program. Students have access to a wide array of book topics. Upon completing the book, the students may take an Accelerated Reader test. They have practiced navigating through this program. Students may use Myon at home to read their books, but they have to take the accompanying test in school. The student login site for Renaissance Learning is on our Google Classroom. Myon books may be used for nightly log assignments. 

Language Arts: 

This week we are continuing our formal Halloween or Fall writing activity. Students are required to write at least a two paragraph creative story using the writing process. We will be working on our stories for the next few weeks. Learned grammar skills should be implemented in the students' writing. Students will be using writing resources in our classroom and Google Classroom throughout the stages of the writing process to enhance their stories. A rubric for this assignment will be thoroughly reviewed.

There will be no assigned Journal Writing this week. Students will be finishing up a special "I'm thankful for..." response in class. 

Spelling:

Students will complete a pretest on their "Fall" list words Monday. They will have to write their list words twice as their homework assignment on Monday. The list words will be used in context throughout the week. A Blooket can be found in Google Classroom to use for independent test preparation. On Friday, the students will complete a spelling test on a Google Form. Your child's test may then be reviewed in his/her email account accessed by using his/her username@richlandrams.net.
