First off I would like to thank you all for such a great first week of school. All the students were very well behaved and very responsible in getting all of the paperwork signed and returned.
We are running a regular routine this week, so if you have any questions please let me know!
This week's reading story is Rope Burn.
This week's reading standard is conflict, plot, and resolution.
This week's vocabulary words are
humiliation: a feeling of shame or embarrassment
fringes: the fringes of a place are areas along its edges, far away from the center of action
expectations: hopes about how well others will do or about how they should behave
sincere: if you are being sincere, you are being honest, and you mean what you say
coaxed: if you are coaxed into doing something, you are gently talked into it by someone else
hesitating: if your are hesitating you are pausing before doing something because you are feeling unsure
This week's grammar skill is idioms.
Homework goes home on Mondays. The homework is not due until Fridays. Homework is not required, but can be bonus points on their test grades. If your child chooses not to complete the homework, I still need them to return the homework sheet and the copy of the story on Friday.
There is a reading/grammar test on Friday. It will consist of a cold read passage including problem/solution questions and idiom questions, comprehension questions about Rope Burn and vocabulary sentences.
