Good Morning Parents!
Welcome to the new blog. This is a great way you can keep track of knowing what your scholars are doing in the upcoming weeks.
Word Study: We will
continue whole-class instruction this week with a word list that reviews vowel
patterns. This is the lesson and
homework pattern – Monday new words are introduced, and scholars will receive
their weekly packet. Homework is to
define 12 words on Monday; write 11 sentences on Tuesday; find 15 words in text
Wednesday; write each word in the sort 3 times on Thursday. On Friday is the pretest, and everyone is
going for a 100%! Any words missed must
be written 10 times each over the weekend and the final test is given
Monday. THIS WEEK’S WORDS: VVC – chief, fruit, brief, scout, groan,
stain; VC – wrap, twig, when, plot, clog, quit; VCC – smell, sharp, thank, front,
climb, trust; VCe – whine, theme, brave, scale, phone, quote.
Reading: These
readers are thinkers!!! This week scholars will continue to choose new books
for their book bins from our amazing classroom library on their group’s
designated day! Independent Reading
Levels are being identified, and all scholars should now be reading books at
their level. Each night, please ensure
your child is reading at least 30 minutes.
Please look for the Daily Reading Response Sheet in the Homework Folder
and ensure it is completed and signed each night. This will be checked daily and will be part
of the quarterly reading grade. The
primary focus this week will be Writing Reading Responses.
Science: We are learning
about the scientific method. We will
review on Monday, and there be a test on Tuesday. Please ask your child about the 7 steps! The young scientists have completed
observations of rotting apples, and measuring water, soil, and cotton on a
triple beam balance scale!
