Reading Comprehension Worksheets- Worksheets will be assigned most weeks and be due on Friday. There will be a level passage the students will work with all week and questions that focus on different skills that we will be learning in class. 
 
Spelling/Vocab Packets and choice boards: Due after five days (given usually on a Monday and due that Friday). You can hand these in anytime before, but make sure you take your time and try your best! :) This is just for practice for out spelling quizzes! 
 
Reading
We will be working on many reading comprehension strategies throughout the year. Some of these strategies include: finding the main idea/supporting details, cause and effect, using context clues, and much more. Throughout the year, students will utilize the Making Meaning series, fiction and non-fiction texts, IXL, and our Achieve 3000 program.
 
Spelling
Spelling words will come from texts that we read in our Making Meaning Series and other texts we are reading in class. They will include both sight and word decodable words. Students will learn new words to incorporate into their writing and every day conversations. Smarty Ants will also be utilized as an online tool. 
 
Writing
Students will learn how to write personal narratives, fictional narratives, informational pieces, and opinion writing pieces.
