1. Words Their Way Workbook: This is a workbook that we have used throughout the year to learn about spelling patterns. Some students work through the first book while some are starting the second book or even in the middle of the second book. No matter where your child is at on the spelling continuum, you can help them throughout the summer to learn more spelling patterns. Your child can show you how we use the sorts!
2. I Can Read Folder: We have used this binder to collect poems we read during our poetry unit. Students can read the poems throughout the summer.
3. Handwriting Workbook: Students have practiced how to form capital and lowercase letters in order to produce legible writing. There may be some empty pages from when students were absent or pages we skipped in favor of others.
4. Portfolio: On Wednesday, after your child shares his/her portfolio with you during the publishing party, you may take the portfolio home so your child doesn't have to fit it in their backpack at the end of the year.
5. Headphones: Our iPads have been collected, so we won't need headphones.
6. Realistic Fiction Stories: For our Realistic Fiction Writing Unit, we practiced writing a few stories before we began working on the final one will will publish and share this week. These stories will be coming home soon!
7. Yearbook: I'll give students some class time to autograph each other's yearbooks. I think that they will be distributed Monday afternoon, so we will spend time on Tuesday autographing so they can take them home Tuesday afternoon.
Finally, students will not be bringing home reading books this week so I can have time to inventory and organize them this week.
Hope to see you Wednesday at 9:00 for our Publishing and Portfolio Sharing Celebration!
