March 5-9

Here is a peek at what we will be working on this week.

Reading:  Our new vocabulary words for this week are: 

            family                        finally                        morning                    paper             really

            gathered                  calm                           diary                         hospital          mall

            overnight                 photos                     retrace

Please put this list in a handy spot and have your child practice reading through the words a couple of times each day. 

This week we continue to work on plot as our comprehension skill.  We will learn that the plot of a story is what happens from the beginning to the end in a story.  As you read at home with your child please take a few minutes to discuss the important events that happen at the beginning, middle, and end of each story. 

Spelling:  Your child’s new list is attached to this letter.
