Spelling Words - Unit 11: working on long u
No spelling words this week!
Reading: Unit 5 -
Skill: Connections & Inferencing:
We
will begin a new unit next week in reading, which can be a tricky one for some
kids. The unit will include students
making inferences and connections. Making an inference means figuring out
something that is not stated directly in a text. An inference is based on one
or two clues in the text. Authors do not always tell readers everything, but
they include clues that readers can put together for themselves. Making inferences helps readers better
understand the ideas in a text.
The Daily Five in Reading:
*Read to Self: Read! Read! Read!
*Read to Someone: Reading to someone
*Listen to Reading: Working on RazKids
*Work on Writing: We will be writing sentence with our spelling words and writing short paragraphs
*Word Work - we will be working on sight words and working on fluency with reading passages
In Math:
We will review Unit 5, take the unit test.
Science: We are studying Solids and Liquids in Science.
