Our spelling list will consist of 15 words that follow the "long a, consonant, silent e" pattern. We will also begin having 5 words that will come from the "No Excuses" spelling list. This is a list of words leveled kindergarten - second grade that children are expected to always be able to spell correctly. We will begin this list using the kindergarten leveled words as a review. The words will progressively get harder as the year goes on. I will include a list of the No Excuses words in our spelling binder.
Our English Chapter 3 test will be on Wednesday. On Tuesday the students will complete a "Chapter Check-up" in class. The first page of our test will look VERY similar to the check-up. Be sure to look over the check-up when you are helping your child study Tuesday night. I will also include a chapter review for homework Tuesday night to help them prepare for the test.
Thursday, we will taste different kinds of apples. We will write a descriptive paragraph using our senses to describe how an apple looks, smells, feels and tastes. We will learn about the parts of a correctly written paragraph: Topic Sentence, 3 or more details, and a Conclusion Sentence.
On Friday, we will use the extra apples to make applesauce in class. We will sample homemade applesauce and store bought applesauce. We will make a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast the two.
Here are just a few reminders:
- Tuesday - Johnny's Pizza Night - Come eat at Johnny's Pizza on McKeen Place from 5:00-8:00 and be served by River Oaks teachers and staff! A percentage of the profits made during those hours will go back to our school. I will be working the 5:00-6:00 shift! I hope to see everyone there! You may also call your order in and pick it up to take it home to enjoy!
- Wednesday - Picture retakes
- Thursday - Send 2 apples to school!
- Friday - Applesauce Day
- Tuesday 9/30 - We will have a Rachel's Challenge Assembly in the morning. I will send a note about the exact time later this week.
