Readers’ Workshop
This week we will be revisiting the expectations for our Reader’s
Response Journals. Students will be
receiving guidance on raising the level of their work, focusing on applying the
skills we have practiced in Readers’ Workshop.
Please make sure to check your child’s progress each week. Encourage them to take our advice each week
and challenge themselves to think deeply about their reading!
Writers’ Workshop
Our published narratives are
due today. Students were warned about this
deadline in advance. It was mentioned each day in the
lesson for two weeks, and it was posted on the board. Ask your child how they did with meeting this deadline. Our next writing unit will focus on persuasive writing. Students will learn how to make an argument and support it with
examples. More information will be coming next
week. By the end of the week, students
should have selected a topic from the list provided in class.
Skills Block
Students will be tested on spelling List 11 this week.
We will be enjoying our next Text Talk book this week, The
Rough-Face Girl. This is an
Algonquin Indian version of the popular story, Cinderella. Ask your child what lessons we can learn from
this story. The words for this week are:
charred, haughtily, suitable,
feverishly, awesome, prevail
Have your child look for these words in their nightly reading!
