Literacy

Mrs. G. is reading a memoir to us called Small Steps.  It is really good so far.  We have been listening to lots of picture book memoirs.  We will be writing our own memoirs soon.  We are getting really good at writing wonderful paragraphs! 
We are working hard at finding evidence in our reading for our reading extended response questions.  We need to find the evidence in our reading and use it when answering our questions.   We will keep practicing that. 
We have all been reading lots of cool books in our guided reading groups.  Some have been fiction and some have been non-fiction.  Some of us played a reading game called Read  Between the Lines.  We all played the Authors Purpose game. 
In spelling this week we had a fun fall list of words.  We drew pictures and wrote the words in sentences.  It was fun to do.
Mrs. Lambert comes in two times a week and we think for a minute and write for three minutes and then we graph how many words we write.  We try to beat our own goal each time she comes.
