Sara will be our “student of the week” for the week of December 1.
Since next week is a short week due to the
Thanksgiving Break, there won't be a newsletter or a spelling test. Our next spelling test will
be on Friday, December 5. The words for that week are listed below.
Spelling Words
bed, wet, prod, holly, party, story, happy,
so, my, family
Reading
This week we read the book, My Teacher
for President by Kay Winters. The
students did a comparison of the teacher in the story to myself. In small groups, the children compared how we
were the same and how we were different.
Each group completed a chart with their information on it. The children used the book to get ideas from
the pictures as well as from the written text. They did a nice job on this
activity.
Phonics Skills
We will be working on initial blends (grin,
crab, flag, etc.). We will also work on
using a 'y' at the end of a multisyllable word.
Grammar Lesson
We
will work on reviewing pronouns.
Report Cards
Report cards will be going home on
Tuesday, December 2. You may keep the
paper that is inside the envelope.
Please sign the envelope and return it to school. We will use it to send home the 2nd report card later on in the year. Thanks.
I hope you all have a relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving with your families.
