Reading
We will have our Theme 3 Review. There will be two stories about neighborhoods. The first story tells about how a little girl can be a big help to her grandfather. The second one takes us on a walk through a boy's busy city neighborhood.
We will cover the comprehension strategies of questioning, summarizing, monitoring, clarifying, comparing, and contrasting.
The vocabulary words for the week are; deliveries, flyer, grand opening, grocery store, success, supermarket, brave, plaster, barrio, mural, fiesta, shrubbery, trophies, customs, and traditions.
In phonics we will cover consonant digraphs, base words, endings -er and -est, and vowel pairs ai and ay.
The grammar lessons will cover proper nouns and plurals.

Recess
Please remember that we will be going outside if weather permits. Since this changes on a daily basis, the children need to come dressed appropriately in case we do go out. They should come with hats, gloves, and boots. Snow pants are also needed if there is snow on the ground. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
Math
We finished working with money. Our next chapter is about telling time. We also completed the timed test for the math facts. Check to see your child's progress. Many still need to practice this skill.
