Week one

I hope by now you are finding your way to our blog. You will find anything on here that is important in our classroom. Here is an overview for the week of August 16th -20th.

English: ABC order, correcting sentences with spelling, capitalization, and punctuation errors, synonym and antonyms and a noun review.

Literacy: fact and opinion (homework sheet), parts of a friendly letter, labeling an envelop by using correct abbreviation and comma placement. Please be looking for a permission slip for pen pals.

Reading: Boomtown from the Scott Forsman reader. Identifying the main idea in books and writings. (This is a skill we will be working on all year. Please get used to identifying out the main idea in everything you read at home.)

Spelling: Spelling will be homework. It is due the next day. I don't give homework on Wednesdays and Fridays. You will always find each week's list on the blog and in their OWL folders. This weeks words all have the short vowel sounds in common. Please make sure your child understands the connection these words have. Understanding and identifying the connection is just as important as spelling them correctly.

Monday - Highlight the short vowel sound.

Tuesday - ABC order

Thursday - Use each word in a sentence.
