in Mrs. Bell's Classroom
Spell
ing - More VCCV WordsThis week's spelling lesson contains words with the VCCV (Vowel-Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) pattern. The cursive/workbook pages OR challenge work will be collected on Friday, 2/8. The final test for the lesson will also be that day.
Reading - I Can Apply Reading Strategies & Use Figurative Language
Our work in reading this week will focus on the final project for Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. Students will be working on the "Reading Response Web" which combines a number of the strategies that we have practiced into a poster. The project will be assigned in stages. Some time will be given in school to work on it, but they should expect to also work on the project at home. The completed project will be due on Monday, 2/11. Students will also take a comprehension TEST that covers the entire novel on Friday, 2/8. Students should review the packets we have used during the novel study, focusing on the vocabulary words, how the problem/solution text organization pattern was used, character traits, and figurative language(similes, metaphors & alliteration).
