Chess Club
Chess Club has gotten off to a good start. Those who are just learning have had one exposure to how each piece moves. We will be reviewing this week and practicing by playing a few games. This week is the "Rooks" turn to meet.
3rd Grade Reading with Mrs. Csorba
We will continue working on identifying main idea and details this week. We will also work on writing some extended responses to text we read.
4th Grade Reading with Mrs. Beseth
Next week we will begin our study of Poetry. We will focus on some of the elements of poetry including rhyme, sensory words, figurative language, and wordplay. The children will also begin a poetry project. In this project, the children will be learning about and writing nine different kinds of poems. Time will be given in class, but students will also need to work on this project at home. We will be working on Poetry and Figurative Language for the next few weeks.
5th Grade Reading with Mrs. Bucklin
We are practicing writing an extended response using a nonfiction genre. This will help us succeed when taking the ISAT tests! We will also be identifying cause and effect relationships using the story of Katie's Trunk. A vocabulary quiz will be given on Friday.
