Hello Parents,
To give a quick update on what's happening in English Language Arts class. We are currently working on writing a personal narrative. We've been working on this and it's due on Friday. It has been an inclass activity. However, some are behind, so you may see it come home as homework. This will help your student catch up. As soon as we wrap this up, we will begin our persausive writing.
In reading, we have begun comparing and contrasting theme's in stories. This is a difficult concept for many. The idea of theme or the lesson learned in a story is not a 'right there' concept. This skill requires students to think about what the character has learned and how to apply to their lives. Other reoccuring skill are identifying the main idea, understanding how the setting applies the story, along with character traits.
If there are any questions on what we are doing, please let me know. Thank you for your support.
Mrs. Rogers
