September 6
Reading - This past week we continued our study of story components, comprehension, silent reading and different types of questions.
This week we will begin reading, Anansi and the Talking Watermelon, as a class. While reading the story we will focus continue to focus on comprehension skills as they follow along with the class. Your child should be coming home with a copy of the story and vocabulary flashcards for this story (gorge, salivate, ponder, oddity, absurd, unison). The story should be kept in their folder and returned to school each day. A test on Anansi and the Talking Watermelon will be on Friday.
Grammar - We have been working on contractions and compound words for the past couple of weeks. Students have done a great job! Now we will be moving on to identifying homophones. There will be a Grammar Test on Friday covering contractions, compound words, and homophones.
Spelling - THERE WILL BE NO SPELLING THIS WEEK!
Math - We are working on rounding to the nearest ten, hundred, and thousand as well as comparing numbers.
Homework - Math and Literacy Packet due Friday!
