May 2-6


Welcome to May!  Here is what we will be working on in English class this week:
  • phonics: the four sounds of /ea/
  • phonics: the five sounds of /ei/ and /ie/
  • writing: continuing our response to literature activities (pulling information from text and using it as a source of information for writing) - you should have seen a narrative piece about a bean plant come home last week
  • reading comprehension: continue with Change Makers - objective: to identify the main idea of a passage, to ask and answer questions to clarify meaning, to use text features to find information in the text quickly
  • orchestra concert on Monday @ 1:45
There are two weeks left to earn points towards AR goals.  The deadline is May 13th.  
Most kids are on track to reach their goal at this point.  There are only two that I am concerned about.  I will send home progress reports on AR point totals one day this week.
