Writing: We are wrapping up our creative writing unit based on the book The Secret Knowledge of Grown-Ups. Students will be typing their final drafts and illustrating their work to create a class book of adult secrets.
Reading: In social studies students will begin reading the fiction novel By the Great Horn Spoon.
Literature Circle final projects due Friday, May 2nd. Students will be given time in class to complete the project as a team. Groups will present their final projects in class.
*D.P.E., or Daily Paragraph Editing, is going to be our focus in the mornings every other week. Each day your child will proofread a paragraph for things like run-on sentences, capitalization, punctuation, and proper word usage. By Thursday, the class reviews all four paragraphs for comprehension. The students are expected to understand the content of the material. The reason for this is that on Friday each student is expected to write his/her own paragraph(s) based on a prompt that reflects the content of the D.P.E. For example, if we complete a D.P.E. about Martin Luther King, Jr., students may be expected to write a paragraph about Martin Luther King Jr. Therefore, it is important that students take their D.P.E. papers home on Thursday for review.
Their Friday writing samples are scored for both content (being on topic and remembering details from the D.P.E. paragraphs) as well as grammar.
