Week of: Nov. 2 – 6 , 2009
Language Arts: Today, we began a new theme in language arts: Let’s Look Around! Students will continue to evaluate what they read, specifically discussing the topic, main idea, and summarizing the story. Phonics work will include double final consonants, final consonants, short a, and plurals with –s. High frequency words are: animal, bird, cold, fall, flower, full, lock, of, see. This week we also start Spelling – test on Friday. The words all have the short a sound.
