Weekly Updates September 27

We have had a week of WOW! Our quail have hatched over the past two weeks and it has been quite exciting. If you would like to see them come out to our Science Night Tuesday from 6:00-7:00 p.m. There will be many experiments and other presentations going on throughout the school with a chance to win a bike!


Reading

This week our reading focus is categorize and classify. Students will use the story Volcanoes this week as the selection to practice their skill and strategies. Students also continue to have a reading log that should be completed as part of their reading grade.
Students also have a list of vocabulary words that can be found in their textbook one page prior to the weekly story. There is a weekly test that is also part of their reading grade.



Language

This week's phonics focus is long o and long u vowel patterns. We will also begin reviewing basic sentence structure. For example complete thought, capital letter at the beginning punctuation. Students will be editing incorrect sentences looking for mistakes.



A BIG THANK YOU!!!

Thanks to all the parents who have sent in snack for the classroom store! It is a huge help and GREATLY appreciated!!!!!


Final note: You should have seen a progress report come home last Thursday. Please sign and return them this week if you haven't already.

Until next time,
R. O'Steen
