What We Are Learning
Reading: This week we will start with a reading review of concepts we have already learned. Later on in the week we will start to focus on steps in technical procedures. How do you follow step by step instructions? Our weekly reading test will be on Wednesday.
Phonics: The students will review phonogram cards and identify them in our spelling words. Five words will be introduced each day. Please study every night. They will be tested on these words on Friday.
Writing/Grammar: We will continue writing informational texts. We will be writing about severe weather. We will also learn how to write compound sentences. Grammar quiz is on irregular verbs (this was taught last week).
Math: We will continue learning different ways to add 2 two digit numbers, with and without regrouping. There are many strategies introduced to allow students to develop a better number sense when it comes to addition.
