Jekyll Reminder Don’t forget that if your child has food allergies or special food needs, you’ll need to contact Jekyll yourself in advance (if you haven’t done this yet, please do this week if possible because we are in our final couple of weeks of preparation). Contact information was in the packet sent home (if you e-mail them, please include my name on e-mail, too). Thanks! Spelling: Spelling list #8 quiz will be Thursday. Their lists should stay in their binders through the school year. Remember to study both the spelling and the definitions. If you would like for your child to have extra practice with their spelling words, they may use Spelling City website. https://www.spellingcity.com/users/bfhogan5 Grammar: The unit on Word Play test will be on Friday. This unit focuses on vocabulary skills including prefixes, suffixes, root words, context clues, and multiple meaning words. They have a prefix/suffix/root list in their binder that they will need to have memorized for the quizzes/test. I have some games to help review at home under the links section on my website, then under language arts. The unit test will be in about two weeks. Writing: We are continuing to review all the genres for the Milestones. We’ll review the narrative genre for a couple of weeks, and then we’ll rotate through informational and opinion again. For narrative stories, we’ve started by reviewing the elements needed for an engaging story including character development, setting, dialogue, plot/conflict, resolution, and sometimes a theme. This week are finishing narrative and then will start our review on informational writing. Reading: We are well into our poetry unit. We have been reading and analyzing poems for rhyme scheme, figurative language, comprehension, tone, and theme. We also started reading a new novel, either Out of the Dust or Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, both of which coincide with their social studies standards on the Great Depression. For this novel, they’ll be practicing their note-taking using the Cornell Notes strategy in their yellow novel folders (they can bring these home to study/finish as needed). This book can count toward their MARCH book log they’ll get next week (we won’t finish it until later March). They will have both a poetry unit test and a separate novel test at the end of the unit. The March Book Logs will be due March 29. If you would like extra practice for your child at home, visit the Launchpad website launchpad.fultonschools.org. There are many useful links available. One is a link for i-Ready. Your child may use this link for i-Ready for additional practice at home.
