This week we will start up reading groups and book bags will go home. I will be finishing up on math assessments and we will take the NWEA math test on Wednesday in the computer lab.

Peek at the Week:

Sight words for the week – big  little

Looking at words with “ch” beginnings and endings. For example; church, teach.

Math – reviewing math concepts from CM1 and preparing for math assessments.

Social Studies – finishing up on make-up tests. We enjoyed the student time-line projects. I love looking at their baby pictures!

Science – If the weather permits we will do an experiment outside with the warming effects of the sun with our weather unit.

Writing – We will start an informational unit on Arctic Animals.

Reading – Daily Five – working on missing vowel sounds – medial sounds, “ch” digraphs, flipping vowel sounds in words – understanding what makes sense when we decode a word we do not know. Adding to and deleting letter sounds to make new words – for example; the word top  – changing the letter t to the letter m, What word does it become? – mop.
