Welcome to the first week of "normal" homework! This week, we will be reading Lost and Found. We will be focusing on the reading skill of SEQUENCE OF EVENTS. As you are reading at home with your student, have the student discuss the sequence of events, listing important things that happened in the correct order... (this happened and then this happened, and then...).
Vocabulary words for the week are:
directions: lines or paths along which someone or something goes, lies, or points
rumpled: wrinkled or creased
situations: sets of conditions at certain moments in time
unusual: not common, or ordinary
visible: able to be seen
worried: concerned or anxious
plunged: fell quickly and suddenly
furious: very angry
This week all student will have the same spelling list so that we can learn how we do spelling in our classroom. Next week, student words will be ability grouped.
Spelling words for this week are:
oy sound --- spelled oi and oy --- point, boy, join, noise, joy, toy, voice, coin, enjoy, choice
high frequency words --- because, friends, said, they, want
Homework Summary:
Students should spend about 5 minutes a day practicing vocabulary words to become familiar with them. Remember that students should also be reading, studying math facts and spelling words. On Monday, students will be given a homework packet to complete. The packet includes a spelling sort, and a review of other skills we are learning in class this week. This packet will be due Friday morning.
