Another week went flying by! KIS ACHIEVE were very active on Thursday when we participated in KIS PTO Fundraiser- Run Blue, Walk Blue, Pledge Blue at KIS Stadium. One of our students ran twelve laps! Way to go!!! The students got their pictures back and they looked so wonderful.
In reading, we will be learning that good readers ask questions before, during, and after reading. This week we started formulating questions. Literal questions are a hard concepts because most students take every literally. It is my goal to have them "think and search" questions.
In Social Studies, we introduced the students to Google Earth. The kids loved it. We entered KIS and saw the school. They wanted to see where they lived, so we entered our addresses.
On a side note, I would like to remind the parents that we have a PTO meeting Tuesday night at Mangia! Mangia! in Newbury. We are so appreciative of Mangia for supplying the food for our fundraiser.
This week we reviewed:
Spelling Words: or, had, one, be, word and 5th grade sight words community and expensive
Wilson Reading: closed syllables, blends and short o
Language Arts: They will continue to practice the strategy of “asking and answering questions” to help them better understand what they read.
