Reading: We are finishing the Newbery Award winning novel From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg. The novel is about a young girl named Claudia who decides to run away from her home in Connecticut to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. But she needs someone to accompany her, so she convinces her younger brother Jamie to go with her. The adventure begins!
Spelling: There are no spelling assignments this week.
Writing/Grammar: We continue to identify parts of speech as we complete our novel. Particular focus is on adverbs and adjectives. Students complete a Daily Language Review sheet each day to reinforce correct punctuation and capitalization, analogies, using context clues to derive meanings from words, spelling, and contractions.
Always check the agenda for daily assignments!
Remember....there is NO SCHOOL Thursday and Friday of this week due to Parent/Teacher/Student conferences.
