Dear Parents,
This week in class we are going to be reading the short story titled Invisible Alligators. We will be doing many different activities related to this story. Some of those activities are: compare the character in the story to yourself. Also, create your own comic with several characters from the story; and many activities that help build their knowledge of complex words.

Assessments

Students will be tested on how to breakdown different words learned in class. They will also need to determine the meaning of the given word/s. In some cases they will need to give the meaning of the word in their own words.

Enrichment Activities
For homework, your child will receive several graphic organizers. Your child is to follow the direction given on the worksheet for each graphic organizer and have it ready for the next day of class.

Providing the Best
This week is going to be very exciting and busy for your child. These lessons will improve his/her informal and academic language. We have many group activities, demonstrations, and pictures that will be used to help accommodate LEP students. If you have any questions for me my contact information is listed below. Looking forward to an exciting week with your child!
