Developing Readers, Writers, and Thinkers

Mrs. Lockwood

Welcome!

Welcome to our class web page.  Please check back often for classroom news, upcoming events & projects, and any updates!


We continue to grow our classroom environment as a place where we seek to question and investigate, a place to make mistakes and a place where we all feel secure to do these things.

IXL

Please let me know if you did not receive the electronic letter about the IXL Math Program so that I can get you a hard copy. This week, students will be responsible for completing two content areas (A.1 and A.10) with 90% accuracy by THIS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14. Generally, students will be given from Monday to Monday to complete 3 practice skills but because of Fall Break next week, I am asking students to complete 2 skills by the end of the week.

Reader's Workshop
We begin "living in the world of the story."  We are learning to take notice of the times when we are reading, maybe even understanding the text, but not taking it in.  We will learn how to open the wardrobe, push aside all the winter coats, going deeper and deeper, just like Lucy & Peter, Susan & Edmund, in The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe, and enter another world..the world of the story.  The world where we walk in the character's shoes, empathize with the character, imagining we are the character.  Our class read alound is The Sisters Grimm- The Unusual Suspects. 

Vocabulary:   aghast, apprehension, dreary, grave, eerie, jalopy, 

 
 Writer's Workshop: Personal Narrative
We are now Published Writers!  Please give yourself a pat on the back and take a bow...each one of you worked really hard on your first piece of writing to make it just right!
