Class activities for Monday, September 13
Spelling: Today was a preview of upcoming spelling words. We are continuing with the second-half of the spelling program we started last year. View the Spelling page for more details.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences of seven or more words each are due on Fridays.
Reading: Students received their Literature Circles notebooks today. We also read Esperanza Rising, a shared book that we began last year and will continue this year.
Writing: Students made their writer’s folders today. They also started making an Authority List of subjects that they are “experts” in. A personal narrative piece of writing is due next Friday, September 24.
