Enjoy the Day!
Reading
Our story next week is The Art Lesson by Tomie dePaola. Some of the students are already familiar with this story through their study of Tomie dePaola in first grade.
The comprehension strategy is author's viewpoint.
The vocabulary words are: crayon, chalk, copy, powders, smock, practice, ruin, copper, violet, turquoise, and monitor.
In phonics we will review the vowel pairs oo, ew, ue, and ou.
The
grammar lessons will address irregular forms of verbs. We will also discuss identifying whether a group of words is a sentence.
Science
Our class is watching anxiously to see when the butterflies will emerge from their chrysalis'. It should be some time during the upcoming week.
Reading
The prize for the May logs will be a pizza party in our room on June 6th provided by me. I have given each child a log. They must complete it and return it no sooner than June 1st. If they fill up the first sheet they can and should ask for another.
Also, we have won the box top pizza party. That date is to be arranged. Thank you all for your support.
Pen Pal Letters
The children received their letters from their third grade pen pal on Monday. We have been working all week answering the letters. They will be sent to Praireview on Monday. The children will go to Prairieview on June 2nd to meet their pen pals, see the classrooms and play on the playground.
