For the Week of January 17th

If you want to join Prairieview's Character Building Chess Club, then make sure to bring in your form by Tuesday, January 18th. I will be setting up the clubs and have the information for you by the end of the week.

3rd Grade Reading with Mrs. Csorba

As we begin/continue our novel studies this week we will be targeting the reading strategy of questioning. As always, we will also continue to review and refine our work with the other strategies that we have already introduced, but will highlight questioning this week.

4th Grade Reading with Mrs. Beseth

The comprehension skill that we will be focusing on this week is drawing conclusions. Good readers use details in a story to draw conclusions about characters and events. Students may use graphic organizers to gather details from a story to draw conclusions. They will learn that it is possible to draw more than one conclusion from the same details.

5th Grade Reading with Mrs. Bucklin

This week we will be determining the author's viewpoint as we read And Then What Happened Paul Revere? in our literature books. We will also be focusing on the differences between a fact and an opinion.
