English Language Arts



This will be our last week using the Journey's Reading Series. Next week will begin our novel study on the book, Stone Fox. 

We will have our last spelling test of the year this Thursday, April 26th.

We will review the importance of punctuation through a variety of hands on games.

Our story this week is Information Text with a focus on Text and Graphic Features. Students will review this skill by creating a brochure or a magazine cover highlighting key parts of the story using text and graphic features.

We will wrap up our Poetry unit this week. The students have written some amazing poems! We will have a poetry reading on Friday, April 27th in honor of National Poetry Day.
