The students worked diligently on slide shows before the holiday break and presented 3 pages of facts on chosen topics. Then we celebrated with some awesome cheese dip, cookies, and carrots. The students will continue using technology in positive ways to communicate with others.
During January we will focus on practicing reading for understanding. It is great practice to have your child read newspaper or magazine articles and then discuss who, what, where, when, and why. This week we are preparing for NESA-R through practice selections. The students have been learning and applying various figurative language terms. Ask them to give you an example of the following terms: similes, idioms, metaphors, hyperboles, alliteration, onamonapia.
If you have any questions about the English classroom, please feel free to contact me between 8 - 9 a.m. and 2 - 3 p.m. If you are interested in viewing any of your child's work, please stop in and view their "Book of Knowledge." It is a portfolio with examples of the daily learning activities throughout the year.
Have a great January and stay warm!
