Language Arts - periods 5 & 7:
Next week we will be reviewing writing components that students should continue practicing. Lessons will be centered around comma use in writing, direct and indirect quotes. This focus will be useful for our research unit that will begin after Spring Break. Students will demonstrate their understanding of these grammatical components through a writing prompt at the end of the week. Students may or may not have language arts homework depending on how they do in class with the lessons as well as when we meet due to ISAT testing.
Reading - periods 6 & 8:
Students will finally find out how Sophie knows Bompie when we finish our classroom text The Wanderer. Students will have comprehension questions to answer to demonstrate their understanding of the chapters. Information about the next book report will be posted on next weeks blog.
Advanced Language Arts - period 2
Due to ISAT testing next week, I only meet with advanced LA 2 times! Next week we will begin our Pronoun unit. Review and teaching of lessons will take place in class and continue with practice through a few homework assignments. The assignments include a poem on Monday and a journal assignment which goes along with our classroom text The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
Advanced Reading - period 4
Again this class will only meet two times due to ISAT testing. Students will be ready to discuss Chapter 11-13 (The Boy in the Striped Pajamas)on Monday and continue reading in the text on Monday and Tuesday. We should be able to accomplish a few chapters next week. Tuesday they will have homework covering the chapter we get through. Look to the homework blog to give specific chapter assignments since this always changes due to what we can or cannot complete based on discussion.
Look for a complete description about the next book report on next weeks blog! I discussed requirements on Friday and students will receive a handout on Monday.
