Phonics/Spelling: The test for list #3 will be on Wednesday. All of the words have silent e at the end to make a long vowel sound. The new list will be sent home on Thursday. Grammar: We are identifying different types of sentences: statement, question, command, and exclamation. Reading: Lesson 3 story is called, Henry and Mudge by Cynthia Rylant. I am teaching them strategies to help them during comprehension quizzes. This is the second one we’ve tried. Pretty soon the students will answer them independently. The focus skill is finding the main idea of a story with supporting details. Writing: We are working on writing complete sentences and sounding out words to spell what we don’t know and moving on to write more. Math: Chapter 2 focuses on number patterns. We are skip counting by 2, 5, and 10. Also are lessons are on repeated addition using arrays for repeated addition. Our problem solving strategy is looking for patterns to help us solve word problems. Science: This week we are discussing the four main cloud types: cumulus, cirrus, nimbus, and stratus.
