November 9-13

Here is what we will be working on in English class this week:
  • phonics: linking verbs
  • phonics: subject/verb agreement
  • phonics: vowel families o & i (-old, -olt, -ost, -ind, -ild) - these are single vowel words in which the vowel sound is long
  • phonics: phonetic skill #3 (when a vowel stands alone, the vowel sound is long - for example, in the word 'she' or 'go')
  • writing: writing sentences that compare and contrast two different things
  • reading: The House on Maple Street (objective: to describe the overall structure of a story, and to use information from words and pictures in a text to show understanding of setting)
  • power hour - continuing to practice reading, spelling, and comprehending
There is no school on Friday.  It is a professional development day for teachers.
