This week is Catholic Schools Week! Please join us for the Presentation of the Lord on Thursday if you can.
We have grandparent's day on Monday morning. On Feb. 1st, it is "bring a stuffed animal" day. Please make sure it is a stuffed animal and not a hard toy. On Friday, it is game day in the afternoon. In class, we will working on identifying main idea and key details within non-fiction informational text. We will use a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast to informational texts, and ask and answer questions from the readings. We will also learn the meanings of prefixes (re-, un-, and pre-), and review contractions.

We will work on using the verbs: was and were.
While reading, we will be discussing the plot of the story using cause and effect, and sequencing. We will continue our work using apostrophes in contractions. We will be reading a nonfiction text called "Bats! Bats! Bats!" We will continue working on contractions with not and proper uses of apostrophes.
We will continue working on sequencing using the prompts first, next, then, and last. We will learn how to write an opinion paper. Welcome back!
In our reading classroom, we continue to look at folktales; more specifically, "The Gingerbread Man." As we read this text, we will make and confirm predictions; as well as, re-reading to check for understanding. We will continue working on verbs. We will also be discussing the difference between past, present, and future tenses (-ed and -ing). New spelling words have been handed out and we will work on soft c, g, and dge. |
