Reading/Language Arts
This week's story was a historical fiction selection entitled "Sarah, Plain and Tall." The comprehension skill focused on the story structure of setting, characters, and plot. Students worked on the prefix of non- as the vocabulary strategy. In grammar students continued to work on adverbs. The phonics skill covered words ending in -ed and-ing.
The results of the Unit 4 Benchmark test have been included in the take home folder. These tests assess how students apply the skills covered in class. This time students also completed the "Reading Complex Text" section for practice. Students completed the section on their own, then as we discussed and corrected the answers together students worked with a partner to see if their answers met the criteria given. On the Unit 5 test, students will be give a score.
