Story Selection Test

On Wednesdays we will always take our story selection test over our the weekly comprehension and vocabulary.  We reread The Hot and Cold Summer today in class, and we also wrote a very short narrative about a challenge that we encountered in our own lives.  Our spelling test over Unit 1 will be on Friday, so practiced by completed Spelling workbook page 5.  Students should also be practicing their spelling lists at home on a nightly basis.

Tomorrow is our Library day.  Students will be allowed to check out three books this year.

AIMS fluency testing will be starting this week.  I will be listening to your child read three short, one-minute selections and recording the number of words read per minute.  Results will be sent home when all test have been completed.

We are off to a good start!

Hot and Cold Summer Homework

For tonight's homework, students should reread The Hot and Cold Summer.  It is about three different characters whose beliefs and feelings change throughout the story.

Spelling Unit 1

Today we completed Spelling workbook pages 3 & 4 as we talked about our short vowel words.  The first spelling test will be on Friday.  Challenge words are for extra credit and cannot harm the score, so they are worth a try!  Spelling words are provided in advance on the Friday newsletter.  Thank you to those students who returned their raffle ticket from the newsletter today.  We had some lucky raffle winners!

We are also working on Character Traits.  Tomorrow's reading book story, The Hot and Cold Summer, is about three different characters whose beliefs and feelings change throughout the story.
