For the Week of September 20

Important Date

Remember that there is no school on Friday, Sept 24th because of teacher inservice.

3rd Grade Skills Class with Mrs. Csorba

We will continue to focus on summarizing and sequencing this week. We will work on applying this strategy to different texts.

4th Grade Skills Class with Mrs. Beseth

This week, we will finish reading Akiak by Robert Blake. We will continue to focus on story structure. The children will also explore character and setting in depth. When your child is reading at home, you can practice and review story structure by asking them to identify characters, setting, and plot (which includes the problem, sequenced events, and the solution).

5th Grade Skills Class with Mrs. Bucklin

We will continue learning the elements of a tall tale. The students will read the tale of Old Stormalong and complete an organizer to go with the story. Also, they will be planning and writing their own tall tale. Check assignment notebooks for possible homework in this.
