Unit 1
Beginning September 2nd, the students will begin working in the new reading series. The students
will bring home their reading folders on Mondays, Tuesdays, and
Wednesdays. You and your child will need to review their vocabulary
words, read the stories, and sign the signature page in the folder and
return them to school the next day. On Thursdays the children will
bring home their reading text book and a signature page. They are to
read the stories to you and you must sign the paper and return the book and the signed paper to school on Friday. The
students will be tested every Friday over the vocabulary words and
story comprehension. For the vocabulary portion of the test, the
students must be able to recognize the words not spell them and use
them correctly in a sentence. The comprehension portion of the test
will consist of questions about the story and will have to choose the
correct answer.
After Christmas your child will begin read the majority of their work on
their own. Therefore, it is very important for them to begin working
more and more independently through out the year.
Language
This year the class will be working on sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation. By the end of the year the students will be writing stories that have a beginning, middle, and end.
Also the students will be completing writing prompts. The students will be
given a rubric score of 1,2,3,4,5, or 6. A detailed description of
each score will be sent home in the writing folder, which will be sent
home through out the school year with the results of your child's
writing samples. Please review your child's writing and sign the folder and return it to school. The rubric can be found in the back pocket on the folder.
