LA update 1-4-16

Happy New Year!!  We had a great first day back today.  We started with looking at our Reading Counts goals from 2nd quarter and setting a new goal for 3rd quarter.  I will meet with each child tomorrow about this and those will be entered into the computer.   Those will be due by the end of the third quarter.

Good news for Mrs. Stoyle's class!  They had the highest reading counts points as a class for the second quarter so they have no reading log this week to complete.

Reading Logs are now all online!  Students must login through Google Classroom and complete 2 paragraph entries per week.  All had a chance last week to practice this in class.  They are still due Fridays.  Here is a link to view the new log:  Google Log due Jan 8


Next, we had some time to write in our response folders about our New Year's Resolutions.

This week, we start to work on informational text structures.  We learned about five different types of structures today.  See them below.



We will continue to read about different topics and analyze their text structures throughout the week along with work on comprehension skills.  For our writing, we will be analyzing the text structures and comparing/contrasting them with a focus on the analysis.
