What We Are Learning
Reading: This week we reviewed the reading strategy
Chunky Monkey. This means we looked for
parts in words that we knew. We focused on finding digraphs (ch, wh, ph, sh,
& th), blends (bl, br, cl, cr, etc.), vowel combinations (ow & ou),
word families (ake, ay, at, etc.), and word endings (ed, ing, er & s).
Haven’t we learned so much this year?!
Alphabet:
In alphabet this week, we looked at the _ake word family (examples: bake, cake,
make, etc.). We also learned about the blends sw and sn.
Writing:
This week we learned that opinion writing can be used to convince or persuade
someone to do something. We are writing
about problems in our school and ways to fix them. Ask your child what they
chose to write about.
Math:
This week we continued our measurement unit. We reviewed terms that describe
length and weight. Next week I will start end of the year math assessments. Can
you believe that?!
Theme:
During theme this week, we continued to learn about butterflies. We collected
several facts about butterflies and created a butterfly book. We also continued
to observe our chrysalises on our Wonder Table. I have a feeling we will have
butterflies soon!
Guided Reading Books
If
your child has a guided reading envelope and/or a guided reading book at home
from any previous weeks, could you please return it to school as soon as
possible. We are making sure our guided reading library is intact and ready for
next year, and if you could help us out with making sure they are all returned,
it would be greatly appreciated!

practice reading, writing, and spelling our Popcorn Words.
