Reading
This week in reading we
will finish up our unit on
point of view and begin
our unit on summarizing/
synthesizing. This is an
important skill for all
readers. In our guided
reading groups and
independently, we are
working on comparing and
contrasting two pieces of
text. All of our book
clubs are now on their
second novel of the year!

This week we are beginning our
unit on informative writing.
This unit will focus on
something that the kids are an
expert on. We will then
brainstorm how to break that
topic up into main ideas and
details. Focusing on using
smooth transitions and more
formal language as we are
writing will be a key focus.
