They will be participating the Readers' Theater in class. They will get an oral language grade in the final presentation of their part, which will be next week.

Language and Writing Goals:
As part of the last writing trait: CONVENTIONS, we will be reviewing different language rules students must master before 4th grade. This review will be helpful for them to write their final writing piece for CONVENTIONS. They will be working on this piece throughout the week.
