In Language Arts



This week in Reading workshop we will continue our shared reading unit on Big Books. We will start by reading Jack's Talents and making a class book about our talents. I will also continue the Texas Primary Reading Inventory (TPRI), a reading assessment, to determine each child's individualized level. We will begin small groups for reading next week and take home readers will come home Monday- Thursday.



In Writer's Workshop we will be practicing our news skills and learning how writer's are really never done writing. We will focus on using supplies appropriately in our classroom.



In Spelling we are focusing on the short u sound.

Rule: The (u) sound in a syllable that ends with a consonant is spelled u as in cup.

Spelling words: up, us, but, fun, run, cut

Sight Vocabulary words: I, like, see, can, he

Challenge words: community, citizen



In math this week we will practice telling time to the hour and half hour. Please practice this skill at home! We will also be working on solving problems that involve time.



In Social Studies we will finish up our unit on Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow! Today we learned about different kinds of schools in our community! We watched a short clip on sesamestreet.org of Murray visiting an Irish Dance School. The students enjoyed seeing the kids learn to dance.



Have a great week!
