February 16-19

I hope everyone had a restful break.  Here is what we will be working on in English class this week:

• phonics: conjunctions (click on the conductor!)
• phonics: double consonants (when double consonants occur in a multi-syllabic word, the first of the two double consonants is usually not pronounced)
• phonics: words ending with -le
• writing: assessment on personal narrative (prompt - write about a time when you did something with your family)
• reading: poetry - read two different poems and discuss how the themes in the poetry relate to the story I Wanna Iguana - compare and contrast the poetry and text (objectives: ask and answer questions relating to details, and understand characters, setting, and plot)
• reading: compare and contrast Money Matters and I Wanna Iguana
