April 25-29

Welcome to the last week of April.  It always amazes me how quickly time flies when I have so many things left to teach!  I need it to slow down now.  Here is what we will be working on in English this week:
  • phonics: blends, digraphs, and special vowels that split (in syllable breaks)
  • phonics: suffixes tial, us, and its
  • phonics: assessment (spelling with final /k/ sound, decoding exceptions, suffixes)
  • continue with response to literature - pulling information from text to use as a source for writing (you should have seen one come home last week about recycling - we read an article about recycling and then we wrote our own version using information from the article)
  • comprehension: continue with Change Makers and the objectives outlined in the last post
  • math: vocabulary (halves, thirds, fourths, whole, bar graph, line plot, and pictograph)
We have three special events this week.  We will be having an internet safety assembly on Monday @ 12:45.  The Rotary Club will be making their annual visit on Tuesday to pass out books, and to give a quick talk about community service.  We will be going to Ellen Eccles on Wednesday to see Taiko drumming.  The buses will leave at 9 AM, and we will return at 2 PM.
