April 6-10

We hope that everyone had a nice and restful vacation!  It is time to hit the ground running as we prepare for our final descent into third grade.  The next several weeks will be very busy with instruction and assessment.  We know that the weather is nice, and students are yearning to run and play, but it is crucial that they are in school and ready to learn for the next little while.  We appreciate your support in getting them to school each and every day!

Here is what we will be working on in English class this week:
  • opinion writing: What is your favorite animal?  - learning to use reasons and details in a logical and sequential manner to support your opinion
  • phonics: adjectives - comparative and superlative
  • phonics: common word list #11 - new, sound, take, only, little, work, know, place, year, live
  • phonics: soft sounds of c and g
  • phonics: adding suffixes to sneaky e words and single-syllable long vowel words
  • phonics: adverbs
  • Daily 5/Power Hour: continued practice in reading, spelling, and comprehension
  • math: time - telling time to the hour, half-hour, and quarter-hour
