Sept 29- Oct 2

This week at a glance:

Monday: We will take a Reading Test over The Wright Brothers.  As always you will be allowed to use your reader and vocabulary list. This assessment covers vocabulary, locating information in a Biography, and understanding the sequential order of a given text.

Tuesday: We will complete a bell ringer to practice using Informational text structures and complete a Biographical Reading Comprehension practice about Rembrant  that will be turned in and graded.

Wednesday: We will take a Practice Spelling test.  Grades of 70 and above will be recorded in the Grade book. We will also listen to this week's story: Wilma Unlimited.

Thursday: We will visit the library.  You will be able to find a picture or quote for your Biography project on the computer, take AR tests, and check/recheck books.  You will have sometime on this day to work on your Biography Project if needed.  Unless you have received permission from me to have longer...the BIOGRAPHY PROJECT IS DUE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2!!!!

Friday: We will take a Final Spelling test.  We will take a reading test over Wilma Unlimited.  You will be allowed to use your reader to complete the test as well as your vocabulary list.  This test will repeat the same skills as Monday's test and will include a sequencing chart you will fill out based on the story.

** This week will we not have an interactive notebook lesson...so you should take this opportunity to get with a friend and make sure you have all the lessons completed up to this point.  If you missed class...getting the notes and handouts is your responsibility.  So far we have 15 pages noted in our table of contents.

**After you have completed your Biography and the Writing assignment...you can select a free choice book until the next reading assignment begins on Oct 9th. ALWAYS have a book going.  Extra books get you more tickets in the drawing!  

Rearranging...

We were not able to complete everything I had hoped this week so I have rearranged somewhat...
The vocabulary list that is under weekly objectives Sept 15th on the right side of this page will be tested along with the story The Long Bike Ride On Monday Sept 22nd.  As always, you will be able to use the reader and your vocabulary definition lists as resources on the test.

Today was the deadline for our first reading assignment.  NO late work or extensions are being allowed on this assignment as you were given 4 weeks and CONSTANT in-class reminders about reading.  Partial credit will be given for partially read books and partially completed reading passports.

Next week begins our 2nd LIBRARY BOOK ASSIGNMENT.  Each student will be reading a Biography and completing a written response to the book.  The assignment is due in two weeks, on OCTOBER 2nd.  More information will be given in class about the project next week.

PLEASE BE AT SCHOOL!!!!!!!! We do SO much in class whole group and in our interactive notebooks. It is not stuff that can be made up at home.  When you miss class you miss out on learning and it's hard to catch back up with the same understanding of the content that you would get in class.

HOMECOMING SPIRIT WEEK!!

This week we will be showing our school spirit by dressing up in the following ways:
Monday: Twin Day
Tuesday: Camo/Nerd Day
Wednesday: Senior Citizen Day
