This week we are finishing a min-unit on Figurative Language. Monday we will work on Personification. Next, we will begin one of the students favorite projects: Descriptive Writing. We have worked on juicy adjectives, vivid verbs, similes, metaphors, onomatopoeias, alliterations and personification in order to make this descriptive writing project more descriptive and interesting to the reader.
Our spelling sound this week is “n” made ny (n, nn, gn, and kn). Check out spellingcity.com for games.
Our weekly A-Z fluency checks have been very beneficial all students have increased their oral reading fluency by at least 20 words per minute and a few have nearly doubled their beginning fluency rate. I am so proud of the students hard work!
Keep reading!
