Writing

DECEMBER

I can ask and answer questions, using the text for support, to show my understanding.

I can determine the main idea and supporting details of a text.

I can sequence events. I can use various text features to locate

information. I can distinguish my own point of view

from that of the author’s. I can explain how charts, diagrams, or

illustrations are helpful in clarifying text. I can use language that pertains to cause

and effect

Word Study I can spell high frequency words with long

vowels correctly. I can explain and functions of nouns, verbs,

pronouns, adjectives, and adverbs. I can demonstrate the command of

conventions of standard English (capitals, punctuation, spelling)

I can use context clues to figure out word meanings
