What a great day!
In Reading we continued reviewing our story skill of problem and solution . We had quite a discussion about the problems in the story. We also reviewed this weeks vocabulary words. The vocabulary words are assignments, allergies, accuse, consume, evidence, suspicious, and consideration. These are words that they should know for their test on Friday.
In Grammar we completed a "You're the Teacher". This helped the students in picking out mistakes in capitalization, punctuation and spelling. They seemed to enjoy this activity! We also reviewed the 4 types of sentences( interrogative, declarative, imperative and exclamatory).
In Writing we discussed "Sticking to the Topic". We looked at examples of writing where the writer did not stick to the topic . We worked with partners and gave suggestions on how to make a piece of writing even better. We will use this activity on our own writing piece tomorrow.
