Phonics/Grammar     In the area of grammar, we will begin a three week journey into the world of plurals. Students will learn and practice the different rules for turning a singular noun into a plural noun. Students will also doing a spelling analysis based in the phonograms and spelling rules introduced last week.
Reading Workshop We have begun our nonfiction unit. This week, students will learn that reading and thinking about non-fiction is different than reading fiction. To start, good readers read the title of their nonfiction book and then think about what they already know about the topic.Students will practice recording their thinking and how to share it with others.
Writing Workshop Students will choose one of their opinion paragraphs to self-assess. From this assessment, they will decide if they need further revising and editing to prepare the text for publishing. Their published paragraph will be assessed for benchmark W.2.1  Write opinion pieces in which they introduce the topic or book they are writing about, state an opinion, supply reasons that support the opinion, use linking words (e.g., because, and, also) to connect opinion and reasons, and provide a concluding statement or section.
