What We Are Learning

Reading: This week we are focused on making inferences, identifying the main idea of a text, text structure, and scientific texts.  Our weekly reading test will be on Friday. 

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 possessive nouns (This is a correction from the newsletter sent home on Tuesday). 

Math: We will continue learning  different ways to add 3 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. Some students may have difficulty with the number line strategy and they may need help.    

Homework

Spelling

Spelling this week will focus on the phonemes ea, ir, th, and ow. There are no extra credit words this week.

I hope you have a great week!
