NEWS FOR PARENTS: WELCOME BACK!  We are ready to begin our second semester of school!

**PLEASE make sure you read all updates below regarding changes in Spelling for the rest of the year. Let me know if you have any questions.


Student of the Week:  Madelyn

Reading: 
Story for this week is Rosa and Blanca.  We will talk about theme and plot.  The theme is the big idea of the story.  The plot is what happens at the beginning, middle, and end of a story.  We will also predict what might happen next as we read the story. Test will be on Thursday.


SPELLING:
Write words three times each, every night.  Practice words from previous week, as these will be used in dictation sentences. Test will be on Friday.


**Remember:   If there is ONE error (spelling/capitalization/punctuation) in the dictation sentence, the whole sentence will be marked incorrect and 5 points subtracted from test score.


GRAMMAR:  We will continue to learn about verbs for past, present, and future.


MATH:  Students will review adding and subtracting two digit numbers, and will begin telling time to the hour and half hour.  Practice at home!


SOCIAL SCIENCE:  Our class is learning about the State of Alabama. Students will identify symbols such as the state flag, state bird, and state flower.
