Reading This Week!

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!).
