Class activities for Tuesday, January 3
Spelling: We learned that the letter r following a vowel creates a new sound. In the words girl, her and surprise, the ir, er and ur have been changed to all make the /er/ sound.
Cursive: Cursive pp. 54-56 are available and tomorrow.
Reading: We reviewed the idea that interesting oral reading fluency involves reading with good speed, tone and volume. We listened to a reading of the book, Polar Express, to see good fluency in action. This week, students will read a monologue to the class to practice reading with fluency.
Writing: None today due to technology.
The next piece of writing is a fiction story, due Friday, January 13. Students should be drafting at this time.
Math: We practiced estimating sums and differences by rounding. Homework is to finish Journal P4-2.
Science: None today due to our weekly math skills time.
Social Studies: We learned about how global competition can affect US jobs, product quality and prices. Homework is to finish the “Effects of Global Competition” organizer if not done in class.
