In ELA students used their initial thoughts and comments from last week's field trip to write a narrative piece about the trip and the things they had learned. During the editing process children reread and worked on correcting their own spelling or grammar mistakes. We reviewed use of capital letters and the editing symbol used. If you see 3 lines under a letter in your child's writing it means they should use a capital letter. In reading students continued to do small character studies focusing on what their characters liked or didn't like. On Thursday each child did a reading assessment on Raz Kids to assess thier reading and comprehension level.
We started a new unit in Social Studies which will culminate in a poster presentation on a tradition that their family shares. We will also have some parent volunteers present as part of this unit.
