Some important school/classroom notes:
In reading this week we will begin our second unit. This unit focuses on Expository Texts. We will focus particularly on using text features in expository text to understand the text better. During independent reading time your student will read on expository text of their choosing. You might consider reading expository texts at home during the next couple of weeks (but that's optional). Writing In the third week of our first writing unit students are beginning to have a substantial collection of writing starts and ideas. This week we explore more examples that can be models for our own writing. This week we look at examples of factual texts, both narrative nonfiction and expository. Students will soon choose from among their collection of ideas to draft, revise, edit and publish their first writing piece. Science This week we continue our study of the structures and functions of life with human anatomy. Your student will become an expert in one of the the body systems we are studying: circulatory, nervous, muscular/skeletal, and digestive. Additionally, our crayfish will arrive this week and next week we will delve into studying their unique anatomy.
