Academics:
ELA: We completed another week of new routines and establishing work habits! This week we will continue with our focus on finding Main Idea and add to it the skill of Summarizing informational text. This will be helpful when we begin working on our text based writing next week! Be prepared to dive into some "Pirate Writing"! You will have to wait to see what I mean by that! 😉 Our Social Studies and RRJs will be due this Friday and I will begin modeling RRJ Chat Groups with all students. We finished our I-Ready and Achieve testing and students have had DATA CHATS. They will be bringing home their work jobs journal to share their data with families very soon! 🎉🎉🎉
We will begin some "There's no Glamour in Incorrect Grammar" language lessons this week. ✎
We will also have our first vocabulary test on Friday. We will begin a study of Morphs-word parts such as prefixes and suffixes. Our test will be on list #1 only!
Finally, we have our first winner for the Bin of Happiness and it is Makayla! Congratulations! See Mrs. Ray for some Happiness!!!
This week's secret phrase is:
Write it down on a sticky note and give it to Mrs. Ray for your chance at "Happiness"!
