We began reviewing today for the Topic 6 math test. There's a review packet for homework tonight along with a spelling packet to practice some spelling demons. Tonight the kids write a sentence using each word correctly. Anyone who has completed the last weekly reading test brought it home to be signed, as well.
We'll review again tomorrow for the math test. We are also going to work with a 4,3,2,1 rubric to write a first draft of a newspaper article the kids planned last week. Our reading for the week focuses on short (1 page) readings with questions that require going back into the text. If you hear about "Fresh Reads", those are the assignments I mean. The kids will also be working on magazine style readings to practice the reading skills of generalization, drawing conclusions, and using story elements to improve understanding.
Mrs. Vanderkruik and the PTA will kick off the Parents as Reading Partners program with a short assembly tomorrow morning.
