Ms. Maldag’s

September 12-16, 2016

Reading: We read and discussed the story Satchel Paige, as well as a shorter text about Roberto Clemente. We focused on how to verify statements we believe are facts and practiced the comprehension skill of questioning while we read.

Writing: We have spent the week brainstorming for our newsletter articles. Your child will be researching a person of their choosing to write an article about, which we will begin next week.

Grammar: This week we focused on differentiating between simple, compound, and complex sentences. We also reviewed the definition and examples of antonyms. Monday we will be quizzing on these concepts.

Vocabulary: We are beginning Vocabulary Lesson 2. I am trying a new strategy that will hopefully help your child be more successful by only giving them a section to complete each night.
