Water Cycle Test- November 10, 2010

The water cycle test is planned for next Wednesday! Here is a picture of the word wall. Can you explain the water cycle (using the words on the word wall) to someone? If you can, you are ready! Could you draw and label the parts of the water cycle? If you can, you are ready!

A study guide is going home tomorrow in your Tuesday folder. Please take a few moments each night to review it with your family. The Water Cycle book we have been reading is going to be sent home on Friday. Reread a little bit each night.

If you have any questions, please ask or email Miss Schaech.

Reading Response Question for the Week of November 1-5

The way a character speaks or acts in a story usually gives a lot of information about what kind of person he/she is. We can infer (make a decision based on text evidence) traits or feelings about a character by reading the text and thinking about what we know already. When we put those two things together, we have new information that the author has not told us directly. It’s like using the clues to solve a mystery about the character.

Using a fictional book you are reading at home, what things does your character say or do that give you clues to his/her character? Be sure to tell us the clue from the story as well as what you think the clue tells you as the reader.
