4PA Update

On Monday, students will wrap up their grammar study by learning about interjections.  They will also have a grammar quiz over the material covered during the last few weeks.  Students have been asked to refer to the pages in the resource section of their binder for review.  They should read each highlighted page to prepare. If they would like extra practice, they may work on the digital task that was assigned in Google Classroom.  It is titled "Parts of Speech Digital Activities".

Last week, our intention was to begin learning about point of view; however, we did not get to it.  During the upcoming week, POV will be a major focus.  Students will be receiving direct instruction as well as participating in various activities which will allow them to apply their learning.   We will also begin reviewing theme through the use of an interactive presentation.  Excerpts from the book Because of Winn Dixie will be shared to provide opportunities to practice identifying various themes present within the text.

We have begun our Seesaw exploration.  This is an online program that will serve as a digital portfolio of the work students complete throughout the year.  Seesaw will also be used as a communication tool for quick reminders that I would like to share with you.  Please be on the lookout for both a paper copy and a digital document that will provide you with information about how to get the Seesaw app and view your child's work.  Below is a quick video about Seesaw.
