Magician's Memo- Week of October 29th
Language Arts-The Magician's will read the short story "M & M and the Mummy Mess." After reading the story, they will answer reading comprehension questions and complete a vocabulary activity. The Magicians will also participate in a Halloween guide word activity using the dictionary. Plural nouns will be reviewed. Adjectives will be introduced. Spelling words this week will have a "long o" sound. The Magicians are working on a power writing about New Echota. They really learned a lot and took in so much information! Topic sentences and closing sentences are still a challenge for the Magicians to come up with independently. We will continue to work on this in the classroom!
