March 23-27

Yeah!  Spring has officially arrived.  Here is what we will be working on in English class this week:
  • continuing with Response to Literature: Maps - creating three thinking maps using information from the reading passage
  • coin recognition - dimes and quarters (we did pennies and nickels last week)
  • phonics: phonetic skill 3 - when a vowel stands along, it makes a long sound
  • phonics: phonetic skill 4 - the sneaky e rule (when the letter e comes at the end of a word and is preceded by another vowel, the e is silent, making the first vowel sound long).
  • phonics: adjectives
  • phonics: adjectives and linking verbs
  • phonics: spelling with -ke (long vowel, silent e words)
  • Daily 5/Power Hour: continued practice in reading, spelling, and comprehension
I will have a substitute on Wednesday.  I will be at the district office screening applicants for the opening that we have in second grade for next year.  Please remind your student how to behave for a substitute  teacher.  Thanks for all your help and support at home!
