Dear Parents-Hard to believe we have covered 2 weeks of school already. We are working hard on all of the above good habits. Please ask your child which of these they are doing well and which they may need to work on. Important Dates: Curriculum Night: Wednesday, August 28, 6:30 pm Labor Day (Student/Teacher Holiday): Monday, September 2 Grammar: We are continuing to work on using correct punctuation, capitalization, and proofreading their writing. We will also be writing comete and compound sentences using a conjunction correctly. We have been having fun reviewing with Kahoots. Writing: We will be digging into the narrative genre. We will pick topics, prewriting an introduction, and actually writing an introduction using our notes. This next week we will practice and polish up our introductions and practice techniques for writing a good narrative. Reading: We have been writing reader’s response for what we are reading. We have also been working on and will continue working on recognizing the settings, main characters, theme, and summarizing the passage. We also have taken the I-Ready reading assessment to determine your child’s reading level, Lexile. I am also doing a BAS3 reading assessment on each student to also determine students’ reading level. We will have a reading quiz this Thursday covering the above topics. I showed the students how to navigate the 4th Grade website to find examples and notes to review for the quiz. If you want to check there yourselves, please go to www.dolvin4threla.weebly.com Classroom needs: Hard candy, i.e. Jolly Ranchers, Skittles, etc. Things to do
Have a spectacular week and see you Wednesday. Mr. Bullard 4th Grade Teacher Dolvin Elementary [email protected] www.bullard5.weebly.com Follow me on Twitter @dolvinbullard
