3rd and 4th Grade Grammar Review and Comprehension

This class will be a wonderful combination of 4th and 5th grade reading and grammar standards.  This class will be structured so your can join and leave at any time along the way- however this class tends to stay full with the same students each week. 
We will begin each day with our grammar skill and spend the rest of class learning and practicing a reading skill. We will learn how to answer questions by restating and finding our answer in the text. We will work on critical thinking skills and thinking about situations from different points of view.
Student expectations:
I expect all students to be respectful to everyone in class, wait their turn to talk, pay attention, work hard and have fun! I love taking time to talk to everyone before class begins, I often give them time to share something they did that weekend, or do a short would you rather to help build relationships in the class. We will often work in partners and small groups - I expect all students to work with their partners in a kind, helpful and encouraging way.
