ALF & Week of September 23rd-26th

Wow- I can't believe it's Autumn Leaf Festival time already! Next week is a short week. There will be a half day for students on Thursday and no school Friday.

Because of the short week, we will not be having a Selection test in Reading. We also will not have a Spelling test. Students are still expected to do the Spelling workbook pages that are assigned, as well as the Reading trifold. I will be testing Vocabulary words only next week.

We will been reading "Letters Home from Yosemite".

Here are the skills/strategies for this story:

Genre: Narrative Non Fiction
Comprehension Skill: Main Idea
Comprehension Strategy: Graphic Organizers
Comprehension Review Skill: Fact and Opinion
Vocabulary: Suffixes

In Math, we are finishing up Chapter 1. We will be testing on Wednesday. Please have your child review their Math Journals at home in preparation for the test.

We will be testing the first chapter of Social Studies on Wednesday as well. Don't forget to pay attention to text features!
