Objectives
This is where I post, specifically, what we will be learning this week.
Comprehension Focus: My Father's Dragon (class novel)
How do Comprehension Checks work?: Students will be quizzed on each chapter of our class novel. Before students take each chapter's comprehension check, we will always do a Review Day in-class. Students will receive a graphic organizer on this Review Day that they're welcome to take home and review. Lastly, if students would like to take their novel home to reread sections, they're always welcome to!
Typically, there will be two parts to the comprehension check.
The first part will ask students, through multiple choice questions, to identify different characters, settings, and key events. The first part will be closed-book.
The second part will ask students, through short-answer responses, to identify and recall specific details throughout the specified chapter. The second part will be open-book.
Writing Focus: Narratives
Grammar Focus: Complete Subjects and Complete Predicates (Unit 1, Lesson 2)
Spelling and Vocabulary Focus: In 4th and 5th grade, we use the same words for our spelling and vocabulary list. We study 12 words every two weeks. After we introduce the words on a Monday, there is a spelling test on the Friday of that week. Then, we work with the same words for another week and take a vocabulary test the following Friday.
Unit 1 Spelling Test: 9/11/26
Unit 1 Vocabulary Test: 9/18/26
Unit 2 Spelling Test: 9/25/26
Unit 2 Vocabulary Test: 10/2/26

This is the Vocabulary Words Student Schedule that our class will be following!
Vocabulary Flashcards - How do I set them up?
Students may use the Vocabulary Flashcards Helping Guide to help them create their flashcards for each unit.

Independent Reading
Each week or homework, students are asked to read for a certain amount of time each night.
Students should be reading books that are appropriate for their reading level. If students need assistance choosing the right books for them, of if they'd like me to hand-pick books for them, they can always ask me!
