This year in Language Arts, students will continue their journey of becoming life-long readers. Reading is an essential skill for everyone. We will also learn to work with each other through discussion and group work as we master the Literacy, Speaking and Listening, Writing, and Language Common Core Standards.
Important Upcoming Dates:
Text Structure test- Thursday May 5
Week of 5/1
This week we will continue to work on identifying text structure and practicing for the test on Thursday.
The article of the week is titled "TMZ was first- again. Will its word alone ever be good enough for traditional media?"

Annotating is a strategy to help students comprehend texts as they read. They circle words that are unfamiliar, find context clues, write questions and comments in the margins, identify major details, and summarize the text. Please view the photo below as an example of appropriate annotating.
