**STUDENT OF THE WEEK:  Sierra Waarvik


**READING/SPELLING:   Our story for this week is "I Like Where I Am."  We will read our story then learn more about the theme and plot.  Spelling words include diphthongs "oi" and "oy."

*DICTATION SENTENCES ~~ (See Spelling page in Apple Binder).

WRITE DICTATION SENTENCES EVERY DAY.  Your practice shows when we have our test.

 

**Students must write Spelling words and read AR books at home every single night!

 

**LANGUAGE/HANDWRITING:  This week we are studying irregular past tense verbs such as:

 Handwriting counts!  Please always do your best.

**MATH   This quarter, students will learn about counting money, telling time, and geometric shapes.  **Please go ahead and start counting a handful of change on the table at home.  We will start counting quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies.  Also, we are using an analog clock (one with hands) to tell time.  Please also begin practicing telling time to the nearest half hour and quarter hour.
