LA 7
This week's focus will be Unit 2 - Nouns! Many students think, "this is easy" or "do we have to?" Nouns are important in regards to writing and especially showing possession! Students struggle with possessive nouns as well as identifying when an idea is a noun (beauty, time, etc.). A graded picture prompt will be given on Friday for students to demonstrate their knowledge about noun usage.
Reading 8
Still reading our classroom novel, Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie. Students will work through chapters 11-14 this week. We read independently, in groups, with partners or I read a chapter allowed. We will also be checking out our final book report book for the trimester. This is an accelerated reader book report. Students will select a free-choice fiction book in the genre they enjoy most, science fiction, mystery, adventure, horror, realistic fiction and so on. Before the end of the trimester, students will need to take an AR test in my room and turn it in for their final book report. If they are unhappy about their grade they can
1. choose to read another book and replace the grade
2. discuss an alternative book report to turn in showing comprehension/understanding of the book.
