Reading - This week we are readingm "The Great Horned Prince."
vocbulary words: bargain, lassoed, favors, offended, prairie, riverbed, and shrieked.(writing
the definitions is always done on Monday.) On Tuesday, the synonyms are looked up.
Reading skills: author's purpose, context clues using synonyms, and sequence.
Spelling: This week skills for the long e are being taught. These letter combinations make the sound of long
e. ie as in prairie, ey as in honey, and y as in finally
Every Wednesday is dictation. The students are given 3 sentences. I say the sentence over
and over. The students write the words I say.
Reading and spelling on Thursday the students have "centers." There are 4 centers.
At the fluencey center, students read to me at their grade level.
At the spelling center, students work with different media to practice their words. The media
includes letter magnets, colored pens, materials to "touch" and letter rubbings to spell their words.
At the writing center, the students are writing what would you do if you were a horned toad
prince or a horned toad princess?
At the listening center, the activity will be different this week. The students will listen to a story.
After listening, the students will write the beginning, middle, and end of the story.
Study for the spelling test on Friday.
Continue to work to study multiplication facts at home. Even though I am not teaching math,
we are doing rocket. I am testing each child to see where they are in knowing their facts.
Being aware of their multiplication level is important to me.
Language - we are studying the 4 types of sentences: declarative, interrogative, imperative, and
exclamatory. We will begin nouns, finding the simple subject and the simple predicate(verb)

Social studies - We have been doing map skills. This week we will have a test over the 7 continents and 4
oceans. From there, we will learn about latitude and longitude.
Make sure your child reads for at least 10 minutes or longer every night. My goal is to have every child reading at grade level. If they do not practice, their reading level will not improve.
I am having a wonderful time coming to school each day. This is a great class!
Thank you for your support!
