Thanks to everyone who came to conferences tonight, it was great meeting with everyone. I look forward to next week too.
FYI- No school for students next Tuesday, November 3 on Election Day. We teachers will be completing some professional development that day. :)
In writing, we continue to work on narratives. Students completed their own "roller-coaster" plot line to plan out a story they will be writing for our book that we are creating. Each class is also writing a story starring their teachers. Those are very interesting and quite funny!
In reading, we are reading folktales this week that explain natural occurrences. As a class, we read one called "Coyote and the Salmon". In small groups, they are reading a different folktale. We are going to use these two folktales to compare and contrast the characters, problems, etc.
Friday is the next weekly ten. Reading skills that are our focus are: summarizing, theme, setting, comparing and contrasting parts of a story, and answering questions.
Reading Counts goals have been set. I wrote them in each of your child's planners and students can see their goals online through the program. They just have to click on check your progress.
Reading Logs can be completed online through Google classroom if your child wants to. Just send me a quick email to let me know you are okay with it.
