Week of May 14-18, 2018

"Kick Butts" day activities were held inside due to the weather. Students from the high school discussed the negative effects of tobacco. 

Reading: This week’s story is called “Building Beavers.” It is an informational text discussing how beavers build their homes. We will be practicing how to find the main idea in stories. We also are continuing to write telling sentences correctly. (Capital letter at the beginning, finger space between words, period at the end.) The amazing words for the week are: beaver, lodge, paddle, river, stream, and lake. The sight words to review are: the, was, to, like, and from.

Phonics: Ee is our focus letter. Initial and medial /e/ will be reviewed. We will also work on long vowel sounds.

Math: Topic 12 will be tested this week. Measurement is the focus. We are comparing objects by length, height, capacity, and weight.

Reminders:

~ Dibels tests will take place on Wednesday, May 16^th.   Please continue to practice letter naming, phoneme segmentation and nonsense words. Speed is important!
