Hi there, parents and students! This past week has flown by! This week, we will be reviewing some previous skills and also adding some brand new skills. For review, the comprehension strategy is once again visualization. I can't stress the importance of this skill enough. I tried to encourage the students to put everything out of their minds and let stories play out like a movie. Please try to reiterate this at home as well. We will also still be using context clues to discover the meanings of words and phrases. The main skill that we will be adding this upcoming week is sequencing. We will be applying that skill to three story elements: character, setting, and plot. Both of our Wonders stories this week are historical fiction, so we will be discussing that genre in detail. If your child is in my language class, we will be identifying the complete subject/predicate and the simple subject/predicate of sentences. Our spelling words this week all contain a long vowel sound. Spelling Words: slope, acute, remote, bathe, gaze, rhyme, keen, tile, fuse, bleach, loan, tote, foal, foe, coax, bleak, continue, pave, meek, shrine Vocab Words adversity - a condition of misfortune that is often out of a person's control alliance - exists when people or groups have come together to achieve a common goal confinement - a way to keep someone or something from moving about freely inflicted - causes injury or harm reminisce - to remember and talk about something that happened in the past retrieved - when a lost item is found smuggle - to bring an object in or take it out secretly or without permission spindly - something that is tall, thin, and weak Helpful, printable resources and links YouTube Video on Sequencing As always, thanks for visiting. :)
