Let me start off by saying how thankful for each of my students this year. I have really enjoyed getting to know each student, and look forward to what the rest of the year brings.
Parent/Teacher Conferences: Please sign up for a time to discuss your child's progress from 1st Trimester. www.SignUpGenius.com/go/60B0D49A4AA2CA3FD0-mrs If you are unable to make one of the time slots, email me ASAP at aluyt@oasisacademyfallon.us and I will try to accommodate your schedule.
Reading: This week we used evidence based terms to answer questions after reading a short passage. We also began reassessing their reading levels. On Thursday, we took a Latin/Greek test. If you child received a 1, please be sure to sign and return the test so I know you have seen it. Students will receive new Latin/Greek words on 11/27/17 (next assessment 12/7). After the break, we will continue using evidence based terms to answer questions after reading a short passage. We will also continue reassessing their reading levels. Students will be having a Spelling test on 11/30/17.
Writing: We continue to practice cursive everyday. We also learned about narratives (personal and imagined), and chose a small moment of a bigger event that they will use to write a narrative in the coming weeks. After the break, we will start to organize the personal narratives into a beginning, middle, and end and stretch out the details. We will also add vivid details using effective word choices from our five senses.
Grammar: On Monday, we took an assessment on simple, compound, and complex sentences. Those students who did not receive a 3 on the assessment spent time reviewing this standard as a whole group, small group, and individually. We reassessed those students who did not receive a 3 on the first assessment on Thursday. We also reviewed subject and predicate, nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs and coordinating conjunctions. After the break, we will be reviewing regular and irregular verbs, and simple verb tenses. We will be taking an assessment on verbs on Thursday, 11/30/17.
Projects: This week we continued with their "51st state." Next week, students will continue creating the components of their state.
Homework: Read 20 minutes everyday. Study spelling words (assessment 11/30). Study Latin/Greek words for assessment (assessment 12/7).
