Jingles

Hey! I'm having a hard time uploading those files that I promised you. I will keep trying, but we may just have to pick up where we left off when we return to school. Be careful and stay well,

News from Ms. Reid: Sept. 7-11

We will continue looking at how different words can fulfill different roles within simple sentences. The students will continue learning jingles this week. Our focus this week is on prepositions and prepositional phrases. It is extremely important for the students to pay close attention over this next few weeks and ask questions as they have them because the information given is foundational for the remainder of the year. Without it, they will struggle.

We will continue to explore the basic elements of literature while also while reading The Rumpelstiltskin Problem. We began by using a whole class model for exploring literature last week and will continue that up this week.

The students began their first writing piece on Friday in class. We will not dedicate any more class time to that, but it will be due on Thursday, Sept. 10. Please check your son/daughter’s progress on this.

Homework Assignments:
Monday

Ms. Reid's classroom info for the week of Aug. 31-Sept. 4

We will continue looking at how different words can fulfill different roles within simple sentences. The students will continue learning jingles this week. The jingles provide a fun and catchy way to remember the definitions of the parts of speech and give clues for determining how words are within a sentence.
We will continue to explore the basic elements of literature while also reading parodies of a few familiar fairy and folk tales. We will also use this time to learn a little more about the three different ways that we will dive into literature this year.
This quarter we will be focusing on narrative writing. The students will begin their first writing assignment this upcoming Friday. It will be due the following Thursday, September 10.

Homework Assignments:
Monday
Have a magnificent night!
Tuesday
Complete Independent Practice 1.
Wednesday
