Reading

   *** Test tomorrow on fables!               

This week we are finishing fables and beginning to work on some short plays.  Each child will have a copy of the play, which they will practice in class.  The groups will present for each other and students will be graded on participating in our daily activities, practices, & performance.

Performances will be during our reading classes on Monday and Tuesday of next week.

Please encourage reading

at least 10 minutes every day!

Writing/Language

*** Test tomorrow on common & proper nouns!

This week we will discuss singular & plural nouns.  A singular noun is one person, one place, or one thing.  A plural noun is more than one person, more than one place, or more than one thing.  Most plural nouns are made by adding s.  Words that end in x, s, ch, & sh form the plural by adding es.

Test non plurals next Tuesday.

Word Work

This week we will focus on the FSZL rule.  In a one syllable word, f, s, z, and l are doubled after the vowel.  Some examples of this pattern are: buzz, stuff, kiss, and well

*Look for your child’s list that we make together in class for more examples.
