WRITING
Students will learn opinion writing, descriptive writing and explanatory writing this year. Some of these are done in class and others as part of the book reports. Students learn African American tales by responding in their journals to The People Could Fly by Virginia Hamilton during February. They interpret pictures and complete stories from the Mysteries of Harris Burdick by Chris Van Allsburg.
Correct sentence and paragraph form are taught and used regularly in all subject areas. By the end of 4th grade students will be able to write a 5 paragraph story in proper form. |
