Our reading story is Just Like Me. We read about different artists and how they created self portraits to express themselves. We will also be creating self portraits and writing autobiographies. Students should reread this story tonight for homework. They may bring in any art supplies that they would like to use to create their self portrait this week.
We studied spelling words with er, ar, and or endings. We completed Unit 17 workbook pages.
This week we also worked on subject and object pronouns, as well as reflexive pronouns. Here's a link to explain reflexive pronouns:

Another skill we are learning is Steps in a Process. Here are some activities you can have your child do at home to practice Steps in a Process:
Steps in a Process Activities
I will begin AIMS testing for fluency for the Winter Benchmark. It will take a while to get through the entire class before reports are sent home, but we are in the process of completing this test. Students orally read two probes to me. Each story "probe" (selection) is a timed one-minute selection. The goal is to make good progress in fluency (reading rate).
