We have been reading informational text over the topic of World War 2 to prep us for reading the historical fiction books I posted about last time after Thanksgiving. The students have loved this topic and have been very interested in what we have been reading.
This Friday will be an informational (all nonfiction text) reading summative that covers these skills;
-main idea and details
-vocabulary word meanings with context clue questions
-author's viewpoint
-text structure
-summarizing
Please check out this link to see a sample of the kind of test that your kids will take in February of this year. We no longer have OAA's, but they are now called PARCC assessments. They are a lot tougher!

Reminders:
*Kids should be reading at least 20 minutes a day at home and completing their reading log each week. They are due Monday with a parent signature. (I am trying something new and rewarding the entire class if everyone turns in their reading logs signed on Monday. )
*Kids should also be taking Reading Counts quizzes and earning points for the 2nd quarter.
*Please contact me with questions or concerns.
