November 14-18

Reading:

We are reading Tanya's Reunion by Stephen Currie this week.  This story can be found on pages 187 - 211 in your Houghton Mifflin reading books.   As we read this story, we will be working on evaluating how the author helps us understand how Tanya is feeling.


Our Focus Skill for this week is LA.4.1.7.2 - Author's Purpose.  The student will identify the authors purpose (e.g., to inform, entertain, explain) in text and how an author's perspective influences text. 

FCAT Reading Specifications pages 66-67


Writing:

This week in Language Arts we are working on incorporating metaphors and idioms into our writing to make it come alive.  We have some fun activities planned this week and are looking forward to seeing our young writers adapt what we are doing in the classroom to their own writing!
