- We are learning vocablary about money, shopping, and describing locations/ directions in a community.
- We will also be focusing on common words found in science and math classes related to the theme of money and directions.
- Please know that we almost always have Friday quizzes with spelling, grammar, reading, and writing. Your students should be studying words each night.
- Our students are starting a literacy unit, and each student chose a short chapter book to complete. Each Friday there is an assignment due (we will be working on them in class, but some time at home will be needed for reading). Students already have the assignment choices (they may choose 1 each week). There will also be a final project with a presentation about their book after the 4th week. Please encourage them to read at home and discuss the book. We will be focusing on prediction, characters, plot, theme, conflict, and resolution.
- We also are working on spelling and homophones right now. They will have a quiz next Friday over these words. They need to know the difference in meaning and spelling between:
- there, their, they're
- it's, its
- through, threw
- your, you're
