We began making a plan for our very own Fairy Tales this week. The students did a prewriting activity. They will plan the beginning, middle and end of their story and sketch their ideas across pages.

Beginning next week the students will be taking a pre-test on Friday after our regular spelling test. This will help determine who needs more practice and who is ready to move on! We will also be doing sentence dication on each spelling test. Your child needs to be familiar with the spelling of the sight word vocabulary.
In Math this week...
We are learning about 2D shapes. We will discuss which shapes can help make up new, different shapes.

Have a great week!!
