Hello Parents!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break with friends and family!
Topics this week:
Reading: Students have chosen their new book club books based on their lexile, reading style, and interests. They are more than welcome to research their choices at home and discuss this with you! I would love if students had a copy of their book by Monday, December 3rd. Students can either check it out from the Dolvin library, a local library, order a copy off amazon, Walmart, or even use a Ebook! If there is an issue, please let me know and I am more than happy to find a copy for them as well. Ask your child about their new book club choices!
We are nearing the end of our unit on DRAMA, POETRY, and PROSE We will have a test on Friday, November 30th! There are notes located in your child's binder, as well as my website! The test will cover the three genres of literature: poetry, drama, and prose. We will be doing review all week, including a "Escape The Room!"
Writing: We will be reviewing the unit on Opinion Writing. We are still finishing up our Opinion Essays in class and typing them on Google Classroom! Ask your child about our Opinion "Dance!"
Grammar: We will be learning about Prepositions this week, followed by the Order of Adjectives. Please have your child look on Flocabulary for the Preposition song and complete the "quiz" for homework. I will also be passing out notes on Prepositions and Prepositional Phrases this week.
Reminders:
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me!
Have a great week, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Reminders:
- HOMEWORK: Please check your child's agenda every Monday. Homework is assigned on Mondays and due on Fridays. Many students are doing an excellent job completing their work and turning it in to Google Classroom! We typically go over the grammar homework on Fridays and I noticed that some students are not bringing these back to class. Please talk with your child about being 100% Accountable for their learning! My goal is for homework to be a review of skills taught, but if it is too much, PLEASE let me know!
- Want to volunteer at the next Dolvin Discovery Lab? Email Karen Berry at [email protected] if you would like to help out! It's always a fun time!
- FRIDAY is KIDS NIGHT OUT! A Permission Slip went home before Thanksgiving Break. Please have your child bring back the permission form if he or she wishes to attend.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me!
Have a great week, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
