Scaredy Cat, Splat

October 20-October 24
This week we will be reading the book Scaredy-Cat Splat!.  We will read this book as a read aloud in class each day this week.  We will also do different activities in class using this story.  (sequencing, character study, setting study, discussing the plot)  We will have a quiz at the end of the week on questions from the story.  Because this is a read aloud, students will not be able to bring the book home to read.  They will be tested on their listening skills.  Everything on the test will be covered this week during class.

In English, we will write a paragraph for a test grade.  The paragraph will need a topic sentence, 3-4 details, and a conclusion sentence.  Sentences must be written correctly with a beginning capital letter and correct punctuation.  We will follow the writing process of prewriting, writing a rough draft, editing our work and writing a perfect final copy.

Due to the recent weather disaster that has hit our area, the Food Bank of Northeast Louisiana is critically low.  River Oaks School will have a food drive this week to help replenish their supplies.  Please send canned goods or nonperishables to class this week.  Please do not send glass or breakable containers.  If everyone can donate 2-3 items, we will greatly help our community!   I will place a box inside our classroom door for any donations.
