November 30 - December 4!
This week we do not have a reading story. Instead, we are
learning about Author’s Purpose (understanding the author’s reason for
writing). We like to think about PIE to help us remember the different purposes
J. PIE stands for P
(persuade), I (inform), and E (entertain). Each day we will be looking at a
variety of texts and focusing on the different purposes. Looking for clues in
the text can help us determine the author’s purpose.
In grammar, we are learning about root words and affixes
(prefixes and suffixes).. Students are learning that prefixes come at the
beginning of a root word to change the meaning, while suffixes come at the end
of a root word. We will be learning about a few affixes each day. Students will
also be reinforcing this skill through their spelling word list this week!
For homework, students have a literacy packet due Friday and
nightly spelling choices (Spelling Test on Friday!).
