_________________________________________________________________________

Reading:  We will discuss the comprehension strategy of asking questions (meaning author's purpose, and using visuals).  We are also working on reading short stories in class.  Students will demonstrate how their favorite short story is similar or different than their own lives. 

 English:  We will work on adjectives and articles.  Students will have a test on Friday.  Students writing samples from last week are due Tuesday. 

 Students have a DOL test every other Friday.  DOL is something that we do everyday.  It consist of two sentences that have grammar errors and the students use proofreading marks to correct them and then re-write them correctly.  This is great iLEAP prep.
