What's happening this week???

Reading: BUSY week in reading this week.  We will be finishing up on several concepts.

* Sequential order: one way to organize text

*Summarizing

*Using evidence from a story to answer questions

*Story maps

*Text features

*Reference sources

Vocabulary and Spelling: Spelling test will be moved to Thursday of this week.  The kids are going to have to study a little harder this week due to one less study day.  Vocabulary test is going to be on Tuesday, October 29th. We'll be working on long vowel words and syllables.

Grammar: We will be continuing to work with verbs, specifically verb tense.  Our concentration this week will be on regular and irregular past tense and past participle. 

Writing: This week's writing assignment will be a nonfiction newspaper article on the field trip to the Science Center.  We'll be editing each other's papers for errors.

Things to note:

MAP tests begin Friday!
