Each week the students will write their words in "7-up" sentences. This means they will use each word in a sentence and the sentence must be at least 7 words long or more. It is helpful for the students to write different types of sentences (declarative, interrogative, exclamatory, imperative).
This week, as we begin the story "Penguin Chick", we will study synonyms as a type of context clue. We will also learn how non-fiction texts are organized by main ideas and details. Students will learn how to identify the main idea and it's details.
Here are some websites to help you practice at home:
