Mrs. Bell's Reading Class
Spelling
There will be no spelling lesson the week of 11/22. Our next lesson will be the week of 11/29. Due to the short week, the final test will be on Thursday, 12/2, and the cursive page, workbook pages, and contract work will also be due that day.Reading
Over the next couple of weeks we will be reviewing the skills that we have gone over since the beginning of the year. The students will also work on summarizing and making generalizations. In writing summaries, the students will learn to pick out the main points or events of a story or passage and concisely put them in their own words. In making generalizations, the students will learn that generalizations are broad statements that are true most of the time, based on fact or good reasons, and may include words like always or most. We have already begun working on our summarizing skills with the Because of Winn-Dixie timeline project.
Mrs. Bell's Math Class
