Chess Club
We studied attacks and defenses last week. I was pleased as different students showed the class how they would defend a piece. We have a wide variety of ability levels but everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.
3rd Grade Skills Reading with Mrs. Csorba
We will continue to read The Chalk Box Kid. We will be doing vocabulary work and focusing on character traits, problem/resolution, and setting as well as predicting, summarizing, and making inferences as we read!
4th Grade Skills Reading with Mrs. Beseth
We will continue reading the novel Charlotte's Web. We will be working on the skills of predicting, inferring, and sequencing events. We will also be reading a leveled reader to strengthen these skills.
5th Grade Skills Reading with Mrs. Bucklin
We will continue writing extended responses this week, using questions from our realistic fiction novels. Furthermore, we will continue to review all the skills we have studied so far this school year, specifically, summarizing, drawing conclusions, inferencing, identifying author generalizations, and visualizing. We are also continuing our word work with vocabulary words.
New vocabulary words for the The Kid in the Red Jacket will be reviewed on Tuesday. Friday's vocabulary quiz will be sent home on Monday. Please ask your child about this.
