November 17th-21st

Our Thanksgiving feast is scheduled for Friday, November 21st at 1:30.  My room mom Michaela Broom is handling the details.  If you would like to send anything please let me or Michaela know.

**The Reading fair is Friday, November 21st.  It is not mandatory that your child participate, but they can get an easy 100 reading test grade if they have all 10 story elements on the board. I will also drop the lowest test grade in Reading!!!

These lesson plans are a guide to what we do in class. Please check and sign your child's agenda every day for more accurate information.  Sometimes we don't get to do exactly what is planned.  If that happens, we usually catch up the next day.  We do a lot of classwork so that the students do not have homework.  If you child misses, they will have makeup work to do the next day during school.

Monday -Agenda check/Writing Bug check/ The students will receive a grade for their agenda and writing bug each nine weeks.  Please make sure you child is writing in their agenda and you are signing it every day. 

TTW introduce the story to the students by getting them to predict what the story will be about by looking at the pictures and the title.  TTW get the students to relate the story to real life.  TTW introduce the reading objective/skills they will be learning for the week.  TTW review the skills while the students "popcorn" read the story aloud. TTW check for comprehension during and after the story.
