Dialogue Lesson

The students had to cut out sentences, punctuation, and dialogue tags and piece them together to form appropriate sentences!  I am hoping they will be adding fantastic dialogue to their personal narrative essays we will write next week!




Hello November!!

I apologize that I missed a week or two!

We have been doing some great things in the classroom and I am thoroughly enjoying having your children in my class!

Next week are parent/teacher conferences and I look forward to meeting all of you who signed up!  If you don't feel a conference is necessary at this time, but have a few questions, please feel free to email me anytime!! tara.wood@mybedford.us

We are multiplying fractions in math!  This entails A LOT of steps for one problem so if your child is having difficulty, please refer them to their math notes.  They have step-by-step notes to take them through a problem!

We began writing personal narratives in writing and we are also working on dialogue!  Punctuating dialogue is a tough task, but we had a fun lesson with it today!  I will post pictures of some of the students and their work!

In reading, we have been focusing on nonfiction text.  Some topics we have covered are the civil war, Alexander Graham Bell, Employment, and cake!  The students received their new AR goal for the 2nd quarter.  Please be sure your child is reading EVERY night for at least 30 minutes!

Next week,  your children have a Veteran's Day assembly on Tuesday, a half day on Wednesday, a half day on Thursday and a full day on Friday.
