3rd Grade Reading with Mrs. Csorba
We will continue to work on Fairy Tales. We will be comparing two Cinderella tales and noticing their similarities and differences. There will be a vocabulary quiz on Wednesday.
4th Grade Reading with Mrs. Beseth
Our reading strategy for next week is making inferences. Readers must make inferences, or "read between the lines," when an author doesn't tell the reader
everything. Readers can do this by applying what they already know to story clues given by the author.
5th Grade Reading with Mrs. Bucklin
We will be finishing up with some character maps for the book Jacob's Rescue. We will also have the final vocabulary. We will then begin the book The Wish Giver.
