We will be continuing on with our pronouns and commas/parentheses/dashes standards from last week. We do have the following two new reading objectives this week though:
-I can determine and summarize the central idea of a passage without stating my own opinion.
-I can analyze how individuals, events, or ideas are introduced, illustrated or elaborated within a text.
This week and next we will focus on writing fundamentals and reading non-fiction text. Please feel free to check students' Reading and Writing notebooks and folders to see what we are working on.
On Friday (8/14) students got a head start on their Spelling work for this week. Again, they will be expected to write each word 4 times and write a sentence using each word. They will also choose between writing a paragraph incorporating 5 or more of the words and writing the definition for each word. All this work should be kept in the part of their Writing notebooks dedicated to Spelling. Spelling tests for last week have either been handed back or will be handed back today. I hope to see better scores this week. The Spelling words for this week are as follows:
- appointment
- culture
- dangerous
- depth
- educate
- excitement
- imagination
- location
- musician
- persuade
My La Paloma email account is temporarily disabled this week, so I may be more difficult to contact at the moment. I am working to resolve the problem. Until then, you can use the Remind 101 app or call the school to leave a message and I will contact you as soon as possible.
Thanks and have a great week!
Ms. Vasquez
