ACADEMICS

Reading: We have been using our high frequency and sight words to read more fluently. We begin our next reading unit which focuses on our reading fluency and comprehension as we read bigger books.

Phonics: We are learning about the -gh sound in different words such as ghost, might, enough, and through. We are also learning about adding -ing and -ed to words ending with a silent e

Spelling: Please check your student’s planner for their sort. Spelling tests will be on Monday. Some students may spend two weeks on a sort.

Math: We are learning to identify the names and characteristics of quadrangles and 3-dimensional shapes.

Writing: Nonfiction Writing – We are adding final touches to our nonfiction writing. Some students have begun writing another nonfiction book.

Religion: We are learning about Lent as we prepare for Easter through prayer and sacrifice.
