Reading/Writing/Spelling News

READING NEWS:

This week we will be starting our narrative nonfiction reading workshop lessons. We will work on identifying nonfiction text structures and adjusting the students reading. We will also practice reading nonfiction narratives as stories with main characters.

WRITING NEWS:

We finished our final drafts of our personal essays! We will be starting research reports soon.

SPELLING NEWS:

Spelling this week is adding a suffix (-ly). Every child gets a hard copy of their spelling words each Monday to take home to study. Please double check to make sure that they have it in their take home folder.
