We have finished our work on our first class novel.\u00a0 It was a super fun novel to do, and I used it to familiarize the students with the routines and materials that I use when studying a novel.\u00a0 This is important because, as the students now move into their independent or small group novel studies, they are well acquainted with how and what to do. In addition, I used the novel to begin their learning of figurative language such as onomatopoeia and personification.\u00a0 We have also taken the time to study setting in-depth and will also look at point of view (upcoming final lesson).\u00a0 We are now going to write our own creepy story and use some of the tools we have learned about.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Planners<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This weekend, the planners hold a lot of information.\u00a0 Some of it is the usual “bring books back for library”, but I have added a few requests for parents.\u00a0 Firstly, I’d like them to share with you their setting for the ‘creepy story’ they are about to write.\u00a0<\/strong> \u00a0We have done a lot of work on the setting, so they should all have this one figured out.\u00a0 Secondly<\/strong>, I’ve asked them to tell you what the problem in the story will be<\/strong>.\u00a0 This part may need some thinking aloud because we have done less prep for this.\u00a0 \u00a0Our first story will be shorter and more of a picture book style, so we do not need a complex story problem.\u00a0 I am aiming for straightforward.<\/p>\n Lastly, we will be writing about a special place in nature this week.\u00a0<\/strong> Some students have places that are easy to describe, but other students want to talk about a favorite campground or lake etc., but can’t remember its name.\u00a0 This is where I could use your help.\u00a0 Could you please write the name in the planner, if your child needs it?<\/p>\n Thank you, parents!\u00a0 I appreciate the help.<\/p>\n Mrs. Marto<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We have finished our work on our first class novel.\u00a0 It was a super fun novel to do, and I used it to familiarize the students with the routines and materials that I use when studying a novel.\u00a0 This is important because, as the studentsRead More »<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6869,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/martoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/896"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/martoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/martoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/martoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6869"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/martoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=896"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/martoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/896\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":898,"href":"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/martoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/896\/revisions\/898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/martoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/martoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/martoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
