Today we took a good amount of time to work on unit projects. Those who are finished are now working on a persuasive piece.
We read a realistic fiction selection called Beth and the Band. In groups, we wrote a summary of the story (one sentence which captures the main idea of the story). We then wrote a summary of the story as a class and learned some hints to help our summary sound concise.
For discussion, ask your child if they can remember one of the summaries for the story and make sure to practice this skill on occasion with them after reading at home.
Is there another chance to make class president speeches before voting? If so, when is the last day to make the speeches?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your question, unfortunately there is not another opportunity for campaign speeches as the class president has already been decided. There will be another opportunity for students to be taped for our final oral project at the beginning of March.
