Reading update from Mrs. Windriver

Reading: 
We began reading Scholastic News and answering questions on paper.  The students will not have an assignment on Edmodo again this next week.  

The students are continuing to work on answering their questions completely by using evidence-based terms and restating the question.  

We also worked on finding the main idea and supporting details of an article.  This is something that will transfer into writing a summary. 

Students will receive new Latin/Greek on Tuesday, January 17.

Your child may bring in their headphones if they'd like to watch Scholastic videos.

Update from Mrs. Windriver

Reading:
The last day before break, I read The Biggest Christmas Tree and the students participated in a couple of STEM challenges. They had to create Christmas trees out of marshmallows and toothpicks and plastic cups. It was fun.

Coming up: 
We are starting non-fiction. To start, your child will not be completing Edmodo assignments. We will be completing other assignments using our Scholastic News weekly readers.
