This week's story is When Washington Crossed the Delaware.
This week's focus skill is Text Structure: Sequence.
This week's vocabulary words are
persuading: trying to get someone to agree with your plan or opinion
crucial: something is extremely important
maneuvered: to move or guide something very carefully
encountered: to meet someone unexpectedly
crisis: a situation that suddenly becomes very dangerous or difficult
appealed: to make a request using a lot of feeling
perseverance: trying hard and not giving up
destiny: certain things will happen because they are meant to.
This week's grammar skill is context clues.
Reading homework went home on Monday, but is not due until Friday. Homework is NOT required, but if correct your child will receive bonus points on their reading tests.
There will be a reading test on Friday. It will consist of a cold read passage with sequencing questions, questions using context clues, comprehension questions about this week's story, and vocabulary sentences.
There was no test last week because of the busy week.
I will set up a homeroom email distribution list as soon as I receive my homeroom information from the office.
Let me know if you need me in any way!
Coming Soon:
Please send to school with your child an inexpensive pair of head phones or ear buds for computer lab. Some of you have already done so and the prepurchased supply kits had them in there.
Remember if your child is absent, I need a parent's or doctor's excuse when they return.
Any questions, please ask. Looking forward to another GREAT week of learning.
