Here is an overview of what we learned this week, and what the week ahead holds!
English Language Arts (ELA)
This week we started our first unit of ELA. Our focus this week for reading is locating the main idea of a text, and using key details from the text to support that main idea. Writing this week is focusing on narrative writing, in particular writing a narrative journal entry. We are breaking down the different parts of a narrative, and really concentrating on using proper capitalization in our writing. We also started the Daily 5, and have done remarkably well so far!
