Writing- Students will be practicing responding to prompts in writing this week.
We will continue with our grammar
lessons and grammar practice with a focus on combining sentences.

Reading- We will be starting a new unit over dramatic elements in literature. We will look at plays and elements of plays as well as perform a few plays in class.

Spelling- We will be focusing on grammar and grammar rules for
the next month up until the STAAR test during the time that

we have used for spelling.
During this time, we will focus on things that may be linked to spelling--
like identify subject and verb agreement.
For the next few weeks, there will not be a spelling list going home

or a spelling test.
There will be grammar and editing practice work that you will see

coming home in
Tuesday Folders.
