May 23rd to May 27th
The students had a great time at the Shedd Aquarium last week!
Classroom Library Volunteer: Are there parents who would be interested in helping me out by classifying my library? This will help students find good fit books based on their letter for Fountas and Pinnell. I'd like a parent to find the "F & P" level for each book and mark them accordingly. If you could give up a little of your time, maybe one morning or afternoon a week, I would greatly appreciate it! Email me if you are interested. You would be trained. :) Thank you to Mrs. Harvat for already leveling some of the books in our classroom library!

ELA: This week we will focus on main idea and details. Students will work on identifying main ideas and details in good fit passages. Then they will write an argumentative writing piece In addition, students will complete RAZ kids each day. During Daily 5, I will give each student a short quiz after reading a good fit passage from RAZ kids. Students will also read good fit articles and work on identifying the main idea and supporting details.
