Things to do at home: Read for 15 minutes each night (30 is recommended)  

Next week we will start our spelling units, they will start off easy and get harder as the year goes on. We will have a spelling test every week.  

We start off each morning with a Fix the sentence 

Throughout this week I will be testing students for their Reading levels  

Monday: Fiction versus non-fiction, students will then read a book and decide whether it is fiction or non-fiction and will write how they knew it was that genre of book.  

Tuesday: continue testing, parts of a fiction text. Students will go into independent work and read a fiction book and fill out a fiction book report  

Wednesday: continue testing, making predictions/inferences from fiction texts and putting that prediction into writing.  

Thursday: continue testing, continue working on prediction and inferences in a fiction text and start working on describing characters and their traits  

Friday: continue testing, start personal narrative writing. We will be working on our brainstorming and organizers for this
