Readers’ Workshop
Look for the FCAT practice test in your students’ Monday Mail
folder (coming home this Tuesday).
Please be sure to carefully read the purple information sheet attached
to the test.
We are continuing our in depth look at text features. Understanding these features is essential to
understanding nonfiction texts. We are
working to define each feature, as well as understand the purpose of each
feature. For instance, a heading is a
noticeable title at the top of a portion of text and is used to introduce the
main idea of the section.
Writers’ Workshop
We will finish up our work
with the paragraph builders early in the week. The rest of the week will be spent organizing and setting up the
Fun Facts, Timeline, and Glossary sections. Drafting will be the next step. The more thought your child has put into building their paragraphs
with complete sentences on the templates, the easier this will be for them. Do you know what stage they are working on in their report? Do you know who it's about? Take a moment to chat with them about their progress. They are very proud of their work!
Skills Block
Our spelling homework & test will be based on list 14. We will be having a vocabulary quiz next
week.
