This week in Language Arts, students will continue to work on spelling patterns, prefixes and suffixes, and elements of a biography during our focus skill time. Students will rotate through stations that include word work, comprehension, poetry analysis, and Social Studies. When students are in station, I am pulling small groups to go over specific areas of weakness in reading.
During our writing process, I am working with students individually on their personal narrative drafts that were completed last week. We are learning and applying a new revision technique each day this week Monday through Wednesday, so that we may edit on Thursday and complete final drafts on Friday. Those personal narratives will be available for you to see, as well as the writing processes to get to that point, when we have parent conferences in October. Be on the lookout soon for sign up times.
Social Studies is integrated into our language arts block, but our focus now will be on rivers and borders of Texas as well as doing a little research to complete our study of the 4 main regions.
