Ms. Reid
This week we will continue looking at irony through some of the works of O’Henry. We will read The Gift of the Magi this week. We will also work with using context clues within a passage in order to determine the meaning of words without having to look up every word that we don’t know.
We will also continue to work with the capitalization and punctuation rules and review what we have already studied on transitive verbs and direct objects.
If your son/daughter is still struggling with the parts of speech and classifying sentences, please encourage them to see me during lunch or recess to review. We will only continue to add to the concepts we have already studied, and it will get harder for them to make passing grades.
Homework
Monday
Have an amazing evening!
Tuesday
Complete Independent Practice 12
Wednesday
Study your Capitalization and Punctuation Rules!

Ms. Reid's information for November 16-20
The Fairy Tale Booklet is due on Wednesday, November 18. The students have had over two weeks to be working on this, so they should not be up late Tuesday night cramming the work in. Please check with them this weekend to see that they have been making adequate progress.
Last week the students were introduced to transitive verbs and direct objects. We will review the new information on Monday and then spend time this week assimilating the new information into what we have already learned this year. Remember that language instruction this year is not a process of looking at one piece of information and excluding all others. All information will be pieced together to create a network of understanding. For this reason, the students should constantly be reviewing old material as they study new material.
Homework
Monday
Complete Independent Practice 8.
Tuesday
Fairy Tale Booklet is due tomorrow!
Wednesday
Cool Word Test is on Friday.
Thursday
Complete Independent Practice 9.
Friday
Be good next week! I’ll miss you!
Stuff Folder: The Sentence Structure Test is in the Stuff Folder tonight awaiting your signature!
