In phonics we will review the -ie and -er endings in two syllable words, contractions, base words with -ed, -ing endings, and silent consonants gh, kn, and b.
In our grammar lessons we will talk about present and past tense verbs.
We will be taking the MAPS test this week.

We are comparing and ordering large numbers. This is a short chapter. Our next chapter is 3-digit addition.
Open House/Book Fair
It was so nice to see many of you at our annual Open House and Book Fair. Thank you to those of you who donated money for books for our classroom. We will enjoy reading the books and they will be a great addition to our classroom library.
Caterpillar/Butterflies
Our caterpillars are beginning to form a chrysalis. We will be moving them to the butterfly garden soon. It will take 7 to 10 day for them to change into butterflies.
