We finished Capture the Flag! We are working on a fun project related to that this week. The kids are in groups and each has a main plot event from the story. They have the job to illustrate it. We will be hanging these in the hall to have a picture walk of the story. I will share pictures of them working this week!
For writing this week, we are working on comparing/ contrasting characters and settings from the book Capture the Flag. We will also be sharing our American Symbol articles with each other in class! I came across a cool project where we can as a class choose a topic and each person can write something for it. We can send away our writing and get it published in a hard-cover book. Thursday each class will pick a topic for this.
There is a reading summative Wednesday that covers fictional characters, setting, plot, summarizing, and theme. We have been practicing so it should be okay for them.
Reading Logs are due Thursday this week because of no school on Friday. Starting second quarter, students will have the option of completing reading logs online through the online classroom. If your child is interested in doing this, please just send me a quick email letting me know you are okay with this. This would be for the log given out this Thursday in class for next week. When they are online, there is no need for a parent signature anymore and no more paper will be exchanged. It will all be completed online on a Google Document and I will electronically give your child a grade. Starting in January (second semester) all reading logs will be completed online.
Reading Counts-20 points are due by this Thursday.
Thanks for your support!
