This week in Language Arts we are revisiting expectations in writing. All fourth graders should be able to edit ON THEIR OWN for capitalization and punctuation. We are learning to consult a dictionary to help with spelling, as dictionaries are allowed on the STAAR writing test this year for the first time!! As we continue to learn new rules, students will be expected to correct for them as well. This week we are working on "2018, a look ahead," finishing our composition on traditions, and learning how to analyze our writing benchmarks for errors/corrections. All compositions are due tomorrow, 1/4. This week we will be doing the ISIP reading inventory to see what progress students have made since the beginning of the year. I will share those results with you in the near future.
In Social Studies this week, students are completing their Spanish Explorer comic books. All comic books are due this Friday, 1/5.
I hope everybody has a great short week back!!
