WEEK of OCTOBER 1st


READING:We are continuing to read the story  "Roberto Clemente". We are working on vocabulary, cause and effect, comprehension, using context clues, and talking about mood and picture clues. We will be completing webs and filling in  graphic organizers. We will be practicing on MONDAY for the OAA and taking the REAL test on TUESDAY. PLEASE have students be well rested and have a great breakfast that morning!
WRITING:
We are practicing for the OAA with small packets in our classroom.  We continue to work on writing Weekend Reports every Monday and Squiggles every Wednesday. We are focusing on writing a complete sentence with a capital letter, a complete thought, and an endmark. We are also learning to use graphic organizers to help with our prewrites. With every sentence we write, we try to think of one good detail sentence to add to our stories. The kids will be winning Squiggle Puppy in their journal writing...We look for GREAT details, CORRECT capitalization and punctuation, and a great story! :)
SPELLING: 
Don't forget to study your words... our test is always on Wednesday. This week's words: NO TEST THIS WEEK BECAUSE OF THE OAA...

If you're on a challenge list... make sure you check your agenda for the word list. All word lists are posted weekly in the agenda.
