Quarter 2, Week 3

   In Reading, we started our Daily 5 program. We are working on Read to Self, Read to Someone, and Work on Writing. This next week we will bring in Word Work. I am enjoying getting to work with each student one on one.

   In both 4th and 5th grade Writing, we worked on quality sentences. We learned how to find and correct run on sentences. We also learned how to find and correct fragment sentences. This week, the students will pick one of the three narratives they have written and revise it.  They will  work to see if they can make their paper "even better," using all the strategies they have been working on.

  In Projects, the students started and finished building their Native American Projects. This week, they will work on their presentation on Monday and present on Wednesday. Students will reflect the project on Thursday.  
   In the next few weeks, I am going to incorporate Spelling into our Daily 5.  I am working with Mrs. Stockard to see exactly how we are going to do this.  We feel this is an area all students need to work on. I will let you know when we come up with a final plan. 

  Don't forget Tuesday is Veterans Day and there will be no school.

  

 Hope everyone is having a great weekend! :)
