This week again we do not have a focused vocabulary list. Students will be focused on a genre called Trickster Tales. Have fun discussing these stories with your child this week. On Friday they will have their spelling test (on words with the sound and pattern of oi and oy as in boy) and reading test on the trickster tales in the book.
Next week students will not have spelling but will take the Theme 2 test on Monday. Even though it will be a short week, students still need to read and log in over the break. When they return from the holiday, we will start a new theme and we will be back to weekly spelling and vocabulary tests. Students should be studying these words for a Friday test. If I were to say 2 areas most students can improve it would be in vocabulary and their reading logs.
Reading logs are part of their grade and a very important part of their reading practice. Students will not become better readers without practicing reading themselves. We do a lot of shared readings and read alouds in class so it is very important for students to read daily to practice that same reading on their own.
Until next time...Have a great Thanksgiving Holiday!
