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 "A Day's Work", we will study context clues. We will also learn how to visualize what a character says/does to understand a character better.
Here are some websites to help you practice at home:
