May 4 - 8

Our field trip is coming up next Monday.  It costs $2 per child to go to the Willow Park Zoo.  If you have already sent in your child's money, thank you!  If not, we need it as soon as possible so we can get a headcount to the zoo.

Here is what we will be working on this week in English class:
  • reading non-fiction passages and determining what type of map to use to help pull information from the text
  • phonics: decoding skill 1 (if there is just one guardian consonant following a vowel in a multi-syllabic word, the consonant will move on to be with the vowel in the next syllable - "one must run")
  • phonics: common word list 15 - large, must, big, even, such, because, turn, here, why, ask, went, men, read, need, land
  • phonics: the schwa
  • phonics: determiners
  • math: partitioning (cutting into equal parts) and fractions
  • power hour/daily 5: continuing to practice important reading, spelling, and comprehension skills
