Week of January 27 - 31
January is quickly coming to a close! This week, please look for letters being sent home to notify you about ACCESS testing dates for your child. To learn more about ACCESS and STAR testing, please join Ivon Van der Lende, our Bilingual Community Liaison and myself in the media center on January 29 @ 7:30am.3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will be completing another mock writing assessment on Thursday, January 30 in their homerooms and will not have ESOL during that time.
This week in ESOL...
4th and 5th graders will be comparing myths orally and in writing. We will be working on compound and complex sentences when comparing.
3rd graders will be writing opinion papers on taking care of our rain forests. Students started by writing different types of brilliant beginnings to get readers interested in their writing. This will be important to use in their mock writing assessments on Thursday!
2nd graders will continue to work on poetry and using imagery and visualization to help them understand poems. We will also be working on somce descriptive writing to help others visualize what we describe.
1st graders are working on reading, writing, and speaking about nonfiction. This week we will be making puppets to explain the life cycle of an animal.
If you have any questions about ACCESS or mock writing, please don't hesitate to contact me.
