Our vocabulary quiz this week is based on UNRAAVEL. Students are expected to be able to spell UNRAAVEL as well as write down what each letter stands for. We will be practicing how to use this strategy in class to learn how to UNRAAVEL reading passages. When students apply this strategy they are more likely to be more successful at finding the correct answer on tests in class, as well as standardized tests such as the EOG's. U - Underline the passage N - Now predict the passage R - Run through and number paragraphs A - Are you reading the questions A - Are the important words circled? (Write down their meaning.) V - Venture (read) through the passage E - Eliminate the obviously wrong answers. L - Let the questions be answered and write the paragraph # where you found the answers next to the question. 12 Powerful Words(Larry Bell) - This is a powerful test taking strategy that we are introducing this week. These words prepare students to do better on tests by explaining to them in terms they can understand what the different types of questions mean. Please ask your child about these words and have them act them out for you as well. 1. Trace - Outline, list in steps, or follow the path 2. Analyze - Break it into parts, tell about the parts 3. Infer - Read between the lines, what is the hidden meaning 4. Evaluate - Judge it, tell the good and the bad 5. Formulate - Create, put together 6. Describe - Tell about, paint a picture with words 7. Support - Back it up or prove it with details 8. Explain - Teach me or show me, tell me the steps 9. Summarize - Tell the main idea, tell the beginning, middle, and end 10. Compare - Tell all the ways they are the same 11. Contrast - Tell all the ways they are different 12. Predict - What will happen next? Math ~Equivalent fractions, fractions in simplest form, comparing and ordering fractions. Please continue to practice long division at home.
