Hi,
Our pen pals are coming for a visit on Tuesday. We are looking forward to seeing them, writing poems together, and creating some artwork with our friends. We will also interview them and play games together. You are welcome to come and spend time with us on Tuesday from about 9:30-10:30.
Be sure to read the attachment about the importance of At-Home Reading.
In reading-we are reviewing test taking strategies to get ready for our STAAR test on April 22. We are watching short video clips to gather background information as we practice using passages relesased by TEA. We learned about Lady Bird Johnson, the Dust Bowl, and manatees. We are also reading independently and researching topics of our choice during our reading time.
In writing-we are working on new pieces and/or revising old writing to submit some entries for the FCE Rising Star Book. Entries are due on May 1 and then grade level teams will choose 3 poems, 3 narratives, and 3 expositories for publication. This week we will also begin writing about our pen pals for our pen pal book.
In social studies-we finally finished videotaping our Voices of Texas Reader's Theater. The kids did a great job. We will learn some more about the Texas Revolution and then will learn about the Republic of Texas.
