March 11 - 15

This week we will be breaking into new groups for ELA. 
 
Reading:  We will begin reading Love That Dog and working on comprehending this poetry book. The students will also be working on giving meaning to figurative language text. The students will be picking a free reading book and set a goal for themself of how many pages that they are going to read for the week and then each day the students will write down a summary of their reading and any new vocabulary words that they need to look up. 
 
Writing: Students will write a Sonnet, Haiku, Ode and Hip-Hop Poems this week.  The students wrote a bio poem last week that should be coming home in Friday folders.  They were super creative and wonderful!
