Spelling - The children will take a spelling pretest on Monday. Due to the short week, our test will be on Thursday.
English - We will take the Unit 1 - Sentence Test on Tuesday. Enrichment projects will be due on the day of the test. We will spend the rest of the week on a writing project.
Reading - This week, we will focus on the reading comprehension skill known as sequence of events. Recognizing the order of events in a story makes it easier to understand the story. Clue words such as first, later, then, and finally signal sequence.
