Week of Oct. 22-26th

Happy Red Ribbon Week! It was a great week in our class. In Reading group B read a fantasy story about aliens and funny events that occur on a make-believe space ship. Reading group A read an interesting non-fiction story about hurricanes and their effect on different ecosystems. Each group did a great job answering difficult comprehension questions from the story. The class enjoyed great discussions about each of the stories. In our Wilson phonics groups, group B focused on the "b" "sh" "u" "h" "j" "c" "k" "ck" "e" "v" "w" sounds. Reading group A focused on digraphs, blends, and closed syllables. Please feel free to practice these sounds with your student at your leisure. They worked really hard.
In Language Arts group A worked on drafts of their narratives. This group was also able to use the IMC computers during class to type up their final drafts. Each student did an excellent job forming paragraphs and making corrections to their first and second drafts. Language Arts group B started working on supporting details and forming paragraphs this week. The students enjoyed writing paragraphs about their favorite Halloween costume, favorite and least favorite food, and their best sports memory. Each student did very well correcting mistakes and forming great topic sentences.

Overall a great week and have a wonderful weekend!
