This week has been a busy one. Here is a recap of the week:
- received spelling homework for the first time
- explained each spelling activity and how to successfully complete them
- established expectations for homework
- discussed the importance of reading at home and introduced Accelerated Reader
- annotated different examples as a class, in groups and individually
- learned how to make sure our annotations are effective
- began to understand the difference between annotating everything and annotating the important things
- Worked on a prewrite activity as a class, in a group and individually
Looking forward to next week we will learn how to:
- make use of our annotations
- complete a prewrite on our own
- begin learning about our social studies curriculum
Some important notes:
- the class website has every spelling list for the first nine-weeks; feel free to review these ahead of time if you feel your child could benefit
- the class website also has a resource that explains AR in depth
Sorry for only one post this week ~ I will get better at this!
