Spelling:
Spelling tests and new lessons will take place on Day 2. Each Day 1, students will submit a sentences for each word on their spelling lists. ** We will be starting this routine mid October |
Reading Responses:
Each month, students are expected to submit a reading response. The reading response is to be chosen from the bingo card in their Reading Response duo-tang. In their duo-tang is also where they will keep track of their reading (5x a week for 10-15 minutes each time). Each response will be assessed for clear COMMUNICATION and CRITICAL THINKING. Under the "Communication" category, I will be looking for correct spelling and grammar usage, appropriate tone of voice, and clarity of ideas/descriptions. The paragraph or assignment should be easy to follow and understand as a reader/viewer. For "Critical Thinking", students should be making connections (text to self, text to text, text to world), describing questions the text made them consider, answering the why and hows behind questions and also choosing arguments that make sense and can be supported. ** We will be starting this routine October 3rd Reading Response Log Reading response Bingo Oral Book Report |
