This week we are reading the story One Dark Night (pgs. 184-203). We are working on sequence (first, next, then, last/finally). Our phonics skill is Prefixes...
pre- before... prepay (pay before)
re- again... reread (read again)
dis-/un- not... disagree (do not agree)/unhappy (not happy)
Please practice these prefixes with your child each night. This skill is the focus in our spelling words as well.
Spelling Words:
1.unsafe 6. retie 11. preschool2.preheat 7. rewind 12. disagree3. rerun 8. unpack *prehistoric4. disappear 9. unplug *unfortunate5.unlock 10. regroup *reunion*=Bonus Words
We will be continuing our Measurement unit this week in math. We will be using a ruler to measure objects in inches and feet! Let your child practice at home by giving them a ruler and allowing them to go to town measuring all kinds of household things!
This week is our last week before.....
~~ SPRING BREAK!!!~~
The kiddos are more than ready for this BrEaK. They are going stir crazy in the classroom and are ready to be OUTSIDE! To be honest, I am too:) These pretty days, full of sunshine, are making me want to be outside running and reading! I will be sending home some reading homework over the break, BUT before you get all upset about having homework to check, it will be fluency. It won't take too long each day and it will help your child to stay on track! DIBELS will be coming up again soon and the goal is
87 words per minute.
That seems like a lot of words for your child to read in 1 minute but I know with consistent practice your child can and will MAKE it!!!
The week we come back from Spring Break, we will be going to the Circus. It will be April 4th, in Huntsville:)
I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
