Field Trip Reminder
Tomorrow we are going to the IMAX Theater. Students should wear their red Chets Creek
shirt and bring a bag lunch. Please note
that the forecast for tomorrow indicates an 80% chance of rain. Students may want to bring a raincoat.
Readers’ Workshop
This week we are wrapping up our nonfiction unit. We have worked to notice and understand text
features, recognize what is important and the details that support the main
idea, and identify the text structure.
We will be having a quiz on text features this Friday. To prepare, students should study the golden
text feature sheet we completed in class.
Writers’ Workshop
We will continue the
biography project this week by moving into the presentation phase. Students will not stand in front of the class and read their
reports. Instead, a questionnaire will be
distributed on Tuesday and students will use what they have researched to fill
it out. They will turn it in on Thursday for
review. It will be given back them Friday, and
that is when they will sign up for a presentation date. We will use a random lottery system to assign presentation dates
over a two week period. Students will present their answers to
the questions in front of the class, and they may dress in a costume for extra
credit points. Please see the project handout, which
your child viewed in class today, for more information. They will get their own copy on Tuesday.
