Happy Birthday to Jacob yesterday and Madi today!
Language Arts-
Today is the day that we introduce new vocabulary and skills. Homework packets also went home today. Be sure to record reading minutes every night. This is a recorded score. It does reflect on the report card if you don't read independently. Please don't forget that an unsigned weekly homework packet will result in an Oops Slip!
Spelling Test - Everyone took a spelling pretest and knows what words to study this week. The skill is long vowel sounds. This can be tricky. There are lots of ways to spell long vowel sounds.
Grammar - We learned about simple and complete subjects and predicates.
RIT vocabulary-
Alliteration - Using 2 or more words that start with the same sound.
Couplet - A two lined poem that often rhymes
Figurative Language - Many different strategies that help the reader picture writing in their heads.
Haiku - A three lined poem about nature. Line 1 has 5 syllables. Line 2 has 7 syllables. Line 3 has 5 syllables.
Oxymoron-A statement that contradicts itself. The teacher whispered loudly.
Story vocabulary - Students should be able to define these words: original, wring, advertisement, commenced, fireball, impress, elected and sauntered.
Our comprehension skill is summarizing using plot and setting. We are reading the tall tale "Davy Crockett Saves the World"
Book orders are due on FRIDAY! You may order online or traditionally!!!
