Phonics- Irregular Contractions

Reading-Fiction Passages: "Buster is Back!"/ "Buster's Surprise"- We will practice reading fluency, comprehension, as well as discussing beginning, middle, and ending.  Non-fiction- "Homer"-focus on understanding pictures to text connections of informational text.  Students will compare fiction and non-fiction texts.

LA/ Writing- Comparative Adjectives/ Revising and Editing Personal Narratives

Math- Number Patterns/ Addition Strategies/ Fact Fluency- Please practice with your student outside of class as well to ensure mastery!

Religion- Prepare for Catholic Schools Week

​Science-Animal Types/ Science Fair Experiment

Social Studies- MLK


Memory words: boy, girl, two, four, about, over, before

Spelling words:  boy, girl, two, four, about, over, before, don't, won't, can't

Vocabulary: audience, talent, explain

Other notes: 
Instead of doing a reading log, we will be sending home comprehension pages.  These may count towards nightly reading requirements.  Please have students read the passage and answer in complete sentences.  Students should be reading 15 minutes per night. The reading alone helps improve your child's reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. Please make this a priority. 

Fact Fluency practice will be sent home on a weekly basis.   In order to be fluent in their addition facts, students should be able to do 20 problems in a minute.  We will continue to practice in class, but practice outside the classroom is equally valuable, and will help your child master their facts more quickly.  Continue to review prior facts your students have mastered to ensure retention.
