This last week in  our Friday folders you received  the students  reading response logs for the month. This will show you the progress they have made, In some cases they have not been taking their time with this assignment.  Although we go over the format  each week in class. I just finished last weeks work and have seen some marked improvement. I will attach it to this weeks assignment.

 

Remember this format is a perfect time for you to discuss your child's reading.  After reading have them  retell what they read to you(comprehension).  Then have them write it into a paragraph. .

We have been working on this during reading and writing time.  At this point in the school year, each child should be able to write a simple paragraph telling about their reading.  The paragraph may be  a summary (Q. 1) or a interesting part (Q 2) or a prediction (Q4).  Some students have been doing quiet well others need to have some assistance.  Please work with them on complete sentences, capitals, periods, and spelling.  (Q3 is simply finding adjectives and writing the descriptive sentence from the book). We will work on this more in class this week.  Some students have it, others do not.

Thanks for your support in this assignment, if there are any questions please let me know.
