Vocabulary:  abundant, halt, scrape, production, distribution

The vocabulary words will tested next week on our Theme 9 test.   Our reading skill for this theme is making connections.  Students will focus on making connections in text to other text by comparing and contrasting story elements (setting, characters, plot, etc.)  We will also be finishing cause and effect.  If we have time this week, we will begin learning about fact and opinion.
For language, we started adjectives last week (words that describe a noun), this week we are adding the comparative and superlative adjectives (adjectives ending in –er and –est). 

Word Study:  Students will focus on contractions this week.  (ex:  can’t, don’t, won’t)

Don’t forget to study daily language (bellwork).
