Hi Families!
We hope you had a relaxing 3-day weekend in honor of Memorial Day. We officially have less than a month left of school-can you believe it?! Please make sure you thoroughly read this newsletter as there will be some changes next week in each subject area! We will be posting the Seesaw activities the night before so parents can review the lesson and prepare for the next day. Please feel free to look at the assignments when they are posted, however, please do not post your response until the next day. Remember, all assignments are due by Saturday at 7PM. After that time the lessons will be archived and only posted to your students’ journal IF they completed the assignment. Reading: Continue to use Lexia and stamina read daily. You can use Raz-kids for supplemental reading material. This week’s featured book on Tuesday is A Harbor Seal Pup Grows Up by Joan Hewett. Learning Target: RI 1.1 Ask and answer questions about key details in a text Vocabulary: nursed back to health: cared for when unwell Sea mammal center: place that takes care of animals such as seals until they can be returned to the wild This will be Tuesday’s reading lesson and Wednesday the students will read a fiction book off Scholastic. Writing: We are on our 3rd week of SERIES WRITING. Series writing is a realistic fiction story which has fictional characters going through real problems. Examples of these books in a series are: Biscuit, Henry and Mudge, Frog and Toad, Junie B. Jones, etc. They have the same characters, but the setting (when and where), problem, and solution change in each book. Your child will begin Book 3 this week while revising and editing Book 1 and 2. As a reminder be sure to print off a 5 page booklet. Page 1 is the introduction, page 2 is the events that lead to the problem, page 3 the problem is revealed, page 4 the events that lead to the solution, and page 5 is the conclusion. In week 4, they will begin Book 4. We will be teaching a new strategy each day. By Saturday, students will send us their Series Book for that week through Seesaw or email. As the weeks progress you should see improvement within their writing as they continue to learn more strategies. Of course, we encourage your child to continue to go back to their books and revise them after they learn another strategy. Please refer to the following charts for support when writing Book 3:
