Tomorrow will be our 2nd Language Arts assessment. Please review the words on page 43 in the Reading book. Also review the phonics pages 42 & 44. These two sounds will be assessed, short i and x.
The rest of the week will be about animals that help people. We begin our new story “The Big Blue Ox”. The assessment for this story will not be until some time next week. The children will get new spelling words but they will not be assessed this week either.
We will continue to use our reading strategies, for comprehension>check for understanding, use the pictures; for accuracy>cross check, flip the sound, chunk sounds and blend letters; for fluency>reread the story several times and for expanding vocabulary>tune into interesting words. I know this sounds like a lot…but if you ask your child about any of these, he/she will be able to explain and show how to use the strategy.
Remember, there may be days that your child must make corrections on his/her math page. Look over these math sheets that come home. If there are corrections, please send it back to school the next day. The topic is still subtraction. We will be adding vocabulary words to our envelope.
In Science, we will also add a few more vocabulary words. Tools and safety will be our topics this week.
**Don’t forget that our room is chilly at times. Please send in a jacket, sweatshirt or sweater WITHOUT a hood.
I hope you have a terrific week! Monday will be Day 4>Computer Class
