We’ve begun digging deeper into nonfiction texts this past week. We read two articles: one fiction and the other nonfiction. We practiced comparing and contrasting the two similar articles, and used text clues to support our answers to questions.
We also practiced reading with fluency and expression. Many of the students in our class had the honor of demonstrating their reading and acting skills during the Vincent October Character Counts Assembly. The skits that the students performed helped to teach the other students in our school how they can be respectful and responsible. They did such an amazing job speaking clearly and working as a team. Since we were the first class to present at a character assembly, the kids set the bar for what other classes will be expected to do—and they sure set it high!
On another note, most of the class has taken the Leveled Reading Assessment. Parents can learn more about this assessment during Parent/Teacher Conferences on October 21st and 22nd, but ask your child if he/she has taken the assessment. Everybody has been able to show growth since the end of 4th grade. Fantastic work, readers!
