3rd Grade Reading Skills with Mrs. Csorba
We will begin working on making inferences this week. We will be using the story, Mulan.
4th Grade Reading Skills with Mrs. Beseth
The fourth graders will be reading Grandfather’s Journey by Allen Say. They will focus on the reading strategy to determine author's viewpoint. Author's viewpoint refers to the author's opinion, ideas of what is important or attitude. The author might give their opinion directly or you might have to infer the
information by reading clues or other information that the author provides.
Here is a great link to practice author’s viewpoint: http://www.studyzone.org/testprep/ela4/o/authorsviewpointp.cfm. The vocabulary for the week is: bewildered, surrounded, reminded, longed, homeland, and marveled. Your child can practice these words at: http://www.eduplace.com/kids/tnc/ewordgame/index.html?grade=4&
theme= 1&selection=2. We will also workon the skill of putting words in alphabetical
order.
5th Grade Reading Skills with Mrs. Bucklin
This week we will focus on the skills of generalizing and fact vs. opinion. We'll visit Alaska with our read aloud called Wild Alaska and enjoy another story from our textbook entitled Grizzly Bear Family Book. Author generalizations will be identified by the students as they read the various selections this week.
