This week, we will be reading several versions of the classic book, Paul Bunyan, and looking at how we can use writing techniques such as sensory detail, figurative language, and purposeful dialogue to enhance a story.
We will continue going to the computer lab and working on our new curriculum Raz Kids. The students are enjoying listening to books at their reading level, answering comprehension questions and then using the points they gain to decorate their own “Reading Rocket”. As teachers, we are able to track each student’s progress and see the strengths and weaknesses of each reader. This valuable information is used to help each child meet their full potential as a reader.
In writing, we are diagramming sentences and working on writing good beginnings and endings as well as complete sentences.
Keep reading,
Mrs. Murphy
