READING /and LANGUAGE ARTS

Students have really enjoyed our recent theme in reading, "Voyagers." A few of  the stories that we have read together as a class are: Across the Wide Dark Sea and Yunmi and Halmoni's Trip. While reading these stories, we always work on reading skills such as predicting, knowing story elements, comprehension, fluency, summarizing and vocabulary.  The grammar for this unit has been mainly pronouns, subject pronouns, object pronouns and possessive pronouns. In our small leveled reading groups, we read stories that fall under the same theme, but the books fit your child's reading level. We work on the same reading concepts, but at different levels.  Students continue to write in their journals each week, write acrostic poems to the Star of the Week and answer various questions in complete sentences. We are also preparing for the End of Grade test. We are using reading strategies in  class called UNRAAVEL and Question, Answer and Response (QAR) to help students with their comprehension skills.  Please ask your child about these strategies and what the UNRAAVEL means.
