Reading: We are half way through the book, Wringer by, Jerry Spinelli. We have had several excellent discussions regarding the characters and events, and the feelings and situations that we have read about and felt throughout this first half. Ask your child about it, they have some very strong opinions!
5th Writing: We are currently working on pulling facts and opinions from two different pieces of text that both cover the same topic. We first defined fact and opinion, then evaluated the first piece of text for both of those elements. Now we are evaluating a second, longer piece for the same. We will then compare both pieces of writing and determine which has the most facts while showing evidence to back up our claim.
4th writing: We are currently working on our descriptive writing through strong word choice and meaningful revisions. Our students are designing their perfect room and they are VERY into it. Our focus for this piece is on description but also on strong introductions and conclusions.
Projects: Don't forget to come see our projects Thursday afternoon 2:15-3:15, we hope to see you there!
This is such a fun and motivated group of children to work with, thank you so,much for sharing them with me!
