Shawna Short

This week in Reading we will be reviewing Main idea and details. The main idea is all the important information that the text gives about a topic. Details tell more about the topic.

*Notes on all comprehension skills are in your child's Literacy Binder, on the powerpoint further down on this webpage, and in Google Classroom!

NOVEL STUDY: The Outsiders

Students will wrap up our study of this novel. Please ask your child about the wonderful things we've learned and discussed through this novel! Also, be looking for a permission slip to allow your child to watch the movie next week!

In Grammar this week we will focus on Comparative/Superlatives.

Comparative Adjective- Used to compare two persons, places, things, or groups.

Superlative Adjective- Used to compare three or more persons, places, things, or groups.

The Grammar test will be Thursday.

Please study the notes in the Helpful Hints and Things to Remember section of the Literacy Binder to help prepare for tests! There are also games, powerpoints, etc. located in Google Classroom as other forms of resources to study!

My name is Shawna Short. I am happily married to my high school sweetheart Matt Short, who is a PE teacher at Prattville Elementary School and football coach at Prattville Junior High School. We have three wonderful children, Reece (14), Marley Kate (13), and Sarah Collins (7) who keep us VERY busy!

I absolutely love teaching! There is no greater feeling than watching a child grow and learn! We are going to have a fabulous year!

A few of my favorite things include: Chick-Fil-A, Fountain City Nutrition, and getting my nails done! :)
