ACADEMICS

Reading: We are learning why authors end their books certain ways and if there are lessons to be learned.

Phonics: We are learning how to use the new words we collect in our conversations and in our writing. Some of the new words we have collected from stories we have read are distribute, slunk, suspicious, delirious, hurled, paralyzed, clasped, and threatened.

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