This is our last week of the third quarter. We have our last reading summative of the third quarter this week on Wednesday and Thursday. We also have kept practicing writing opinion pieces. The one we finished today was about which makes a better pet, a cat or a dog? The kids were interested in this.
Our next writing topic is informational report writing. We will start by reading and watching videos about the Solar System. This will tie into their learning in science class about space that will be starting soon.
For reading, we will be reading some more fictional stories and talking about how visuals affect the story while reviewing theme, setting, plot, and characters. I stopped reading Because of Mr. Terupt when part two came about. Kids can now borrow the book to finish it if interested.
Reading Counts Goals are due by this Friday. If your child met his/her goal last Friday, they do not have a reading log due this Friday. It was amazing that the majority of kids met their goals early!! They keep reading lots and lots of books...which makes me happy!
