Dear Parents & Students!
Topics this week: Reading AND Writing: We will continue working on taking the BAS assessment and this is done one on one with the teacher. Thanks so much for continuing to support your child's love of reading by getting them a copy of the book they chose to read for book club. These books are on their individual reading levels. Students will now also be writing about the non-fiction text structures (description, compare & contrast, cause & effect, chronological order, and problem & solution). We will continue reading aloud Fantastic Failures and through this read aloud students have been able to identify a variety of text structures. We have currently read about Oprah Winfrey, and will be reading about J.K. Rowling, and Nelson Mandela. For our essays, we have completed all of our lessons on how to write an informational essay (intro, body, and conclusion). We will continue to review but now that we have done these lessons students have finished their Write Score essays on informational writing for Fulton County this week. This is a Fulton County assessment. You can find notes and info on our website as well as Google Classroom. Students will also continue to work on the informational essays for their magazine. Grammar: We are still learning about affixes. We will continue learning about the affix "graph." Take notices of when you use words with these affix at home. Reminders:
That's all for now! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns by emailing me directly at [email protected]. Have a wonderful week! Dave Bullard Dolvin Elementary School E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://bullard5.weebly.com Twitter: @dolvinbullard
