Class activities for Tuesday, May 9
Spelling: We reviewed common spelling patterns for the /ch/ sound. We learned that ch and tch are common patterns, but tch is usually used for short vowel sounds (as in stitch or batch), and ch for long vowel sounds (as in reach and coach).
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences, seven or more words each, are due on Fridays.
Reading: None today due to our I-Search Conference.
Writing: None today due to our I-Search Conference. A collection of poems will be due on Friday, May 19.
