January 12 -16

Happy foggy Monday morning!  We have a short day on Friday, the 16th.  School will be dismissed at 12:00.  Here is what we will be working on in English this week:
  • DIBELS testing on Thursday (to assess how well students are reading)
  • Finishing up our chronological narrative - we still need to add details and write sentences
  • phonics: common word list #3 - at, or, be, one, this, have, by, from, word
  • phonics: t, v, w, x, y, and u
  • phonics: punctuation
  • phonics: common word list #4 - but, we, not, when, what, your, all, were, can, said
  • accuracy strategy: skip the word, then go back
  • accuracy strategy: trade a word, guess a word
  • extending vocabulary strategy: use the dictionary
  • Words Their Way assessment (to assess improvements in spelling skills)
