Literacy
We will be working on many comprehension skills this year: using context clues, making inferences, finding the main idea/supporting details, summarizing, cause & effect, and much more! To practice these skills, we will be using Making Meaning, trade books, and a variety of non-fiction texts. 
 

Use achieve at home to continue reading and practicing our comprehension skills.

Writing
We will be using 6 traits this year to work on our writing skills: ideas, organization, voice, sentence fluency, word choice, and conventions. To practice these skills, we will work on different writing pieces: narratives, persuasive, informative/explanatory, and more! Also, we will learn to cite explicit evidence in our writing. We will pull evidence from various sources.
 
 
Grammar
DLR - We will practice our grammar skills using our "Daily Language Review." This will be done throughout the year to practice correct grammar and usage. Along with our DLR, we will be working on grammar units such as sentences, nouns, verbs, and more!
