Phonics: This week we will be learning the prefixes over-, under-, mis-, mid-, dis-, ir-. im-, un- and what they mean. We will also begin a phonics review over the diagraphs, trigraphs, quadrigraphs that we've learned this year.
Reading: This week we will be reading "Jingle Dancer." Your child has a reading assignment each night. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday he/she needs to read the little Take-Home reader sent home with them on Monday. This week's reader is titled " Mr. Fudd's Unlikely Morning." On Thursday they need to read (and any other day of the week) a library book. Please remember to write in your child's reading log. When he/she brings its back to school, they receive a treat and a new log.
SPELLING: Our words this week have either the prefix mid- or mis-. They are as follows:
1. midair 11. mismatch
2. midway 12. misbehave
3. midday 13. misprint
4. midweek 14. mislead
5. midyear 15. misplace
6. midnight 16. every
7. midstream 17. whole
8. misbehavior 18. could
9. mistake 19. culture
10. misdeed 20. ceremony
BONUS: unfortunate
LANGUAGE/HANDWRITING: We will be learning to properly write a paragraph. We will also be working on our cursive handwriting.
MATH: Concepts for this week's lessons are: locating and graphing points on a coordinate graph; showing change for $1.00; finding the area of a rectangle; and multiplying by zero. There will be an assessment on Thursday. IMPORTANT: I have started giving the oral math fact tests. This is a quick way for me to be able to tell those students who have their math facts memorized. PLEASE help your child learn their addition and subtraction facts. This math skill is essential for them to have mastered before they go on to 3rd grade. We have begun A/C Math. Your child will be working at his/her own pace with this program. However, at least 1 assignment a week must be completed and brought back to school. Failure to do so will result in the student losing recess on Friday in order to complete the assignment.
SCIENCE: We will continue our unit about plants this week.
SOCIAL STUDIES: We are focusing on Science this week.
Thank you for taking the time to touch base with our CLASS PAGE. It makes a great difference for your child when you are involved daily with his/her learning!!! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me here at school or feel free to call me at home.
Mrs. Olson
