Highlights for the Week of 5/21/12
in Mrs. Bell's Classroom
Spelling - Review
This week's spelling
lesson will be a review list. Students must earn a 100% on the pretest to qualify for challenge work. The final TEST
on this lesson will be given
on
Friday, 5/25. The workbook pages OR challenge work will also be
collected that day.
Reading - I Can Monitor and Clarify
Our focus this week is on the reading strategy of
monitor/clarify. Students should monitor how well they understand a
story. If they don't understand something, they can reread or read ahead
for help.We will continue using our Peg Kehret novels to practice this strategy. Students will have their third book club meeting on Monday, 5/21, and their fourth, and final meeting is scheduled for Thursday, 5/24.English-Pronouns
Subject and object pronouns, and correct use of the pronouns, "I and Me" are the topics that we will study in English this week.
Social
Studies - Time for Kids / Illinois
Students will be using the information that they collected on their Illinois scavenger hunts to create a "flap book" project. They will be given time in class to work on the project, which will be due on Tuesday, 5/29.
