Well, here we are....starting another new week! Woo Hoo! We're SO close to Thanksgiving and Christmas that you can almost smell the yummy food cooking in the oven! :o)
Okay, okay, enough about yummy food...Ha Ha! Here's what we did today...
Reading: I introduced our new Vocabulary words and we read our Vocabulary story, called "A Mysterious Limousine" This story features the new words in the context of the story. I suggest you go in and re-read the story so that you can see how the author uses the words!
We discussed that we will be learning how to monitor our comprehension as we are reading, and I offered a few tips on various ways that you can monitor your comprehension a story or a difficult text.
Language: We started learning about our grammar skill for this week: future and past tense. I am hoping that this week's grammar skill will be a tad bit easier than those pesky direct and indirect objects we struggled with last week!
We also previewed our new spelling words for this week - which all end in /er/, /or/, or /ar/.
Our next Spelling, Vocabulary, Grammar, and Reading tests will be TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15th!
I introduced our Writing focus for the week, which is a Fictional Narrative that features dialogue. I explained that we will be following the Writing Process this week, and as we all SHOULD know, the Writing Process begins with brainstorming ideas! So, I told everyone that by the time they go to bed tonight they need to have completed their Dialogue chart! I hope you don't forget to complete yours, or you will be behind tomorrow!
Social Studies: We presented our PowerPoints to the class, which focused on important people from Chapter 5: Lessons 3 and 4. We will finish up our presentations tomorrow and then we will complete a review of Chapter 5. Our Social Studies test will be Thursday!
HOMEWORK ALERT!: Tonight's homework is to complete Practice Book page 83 (don't lose it because you will turn it in tomorrow AND we will be using the chart on the back side of this page as we are reading our main selection this week!)
You have also been asked to complete the first step of the Writing Process: Brainstorming using a dialogue chart! Don't forget to complete yours tonight!
I hope you have a wonderful evening!
Mrs. Moore
