Most of the students completed the MCA reading test this week and did a wonderful job! I was so proud of the effort each of them put into doing their very best. We get a short break now until the math will take place on the 23rd and 24th.
Here is what next week will look like:
Reading- Our main comprehension skill for the week is compare and contrast. We will be reading several fiction and non-fiction texts to practice looking for clues and analyzing details.
Reading logs will look a little different for the next few weeks. We are participating in the Rox reading program. They will record their reading minutes on these forms instead of our standard reading log. We are still doing the Friday - Friday format so please fill out their minutes from this weekend where it says Saturday and Sunday. All students who hand theirs in get a chance to win weekly prizes (Rox merchandise). Everyone who participates and completes every week will get free tickets to a Rox game!
Writing: The students will be working on using commas correctly and will be completing their fractured fairy tales. Ask your child which story they chose and whose point of view they are writing it from! We sure do have a lot of creative writers in our class!
Math: Mr. Krupa will be taking this week to do MCA math practice. There will be no fact log, but they should continue to practice their facts to have them fresh for the MCAs!
Word Study homework is due Monday for those who had new word lists.
Mention that you read this week's blog in your child's agenda and they will receive 2 extra Dojo points:)
Thanks for all you do and have a great weekend!
