Reading-
Our reading story the next two weeks is entitled; Sam, Come Back! Our word wall words for the week will be; on, way, and in. Please read story daily and focus on the story line, word wall words or other phonemic skills. Students will be asked to identify and read these specific words on their assessment at the end of the week. Students are asked to take home readers every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings. Our skill lesson for the week is identifying characters. Students will work independently and small groups to help master the weekly skills.

Spelling-
Our phonics skill for the week is words with the short /a/sound. Students will take a pretest on Thursdays. If they score a 100%, they will not need to retake the exam on Friday. Students are given two opportunities to master the spelling words for the week. I will be looking at neatness, accuracy of words, sentence structure, capital letters, and punctuation marks. I encourage students to practice words nightly for 5-10 minutes. Words can be found under the word wall and spelling tab at the top of this page.

Language Arts-
Our grammar lesson for the week will be making sure sentences begin and end correctly. . Big emphasis is sentences will end with a question mark. We will also be performing daily "Fix-it" sentences that will illustrate the correct way to write a sentence. We will be working in our interactive notebooks to help facilitate our phonetic skill for the week, blends, digraphs, word ladders, compound words, and contractions.
Handwriting-
Students will work daily on basic handwriting strokes. I will evaluate the size, slant, shape, and spacing of letters to determine their grade. Fine motor skills are beneficial to comprehending and appreciating their work. Handwriting grades are taken weekly in various subjects on various activities. A handwriting grade when taken will be located at the top of the paper written as shown; M/hw, S/hw, NI/hw, or U/hw. The "hw" stands for handwriting.
