Ms. Rasicot's Class Blog: Week 11 - November 11

This week we will focus on:

Phonics: Lessons 42 - 45

We will review Lessons 39 - 40 that focused on qu words and the fszl Rule (f, s, z, and l are
doubled after a short vowel sound)

and in Lessons 41 - 42 we will focus on the ck blend and VCe words (the VCe - vowel,
consonant, e - rule. This rule indicates that the vowel is long: a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e, u-e, y-e)

We will be working on sight words: they, they'll, they're

Work on breaking apart the contraction and putting the work back together:

they are = they (a)re = they're they will = they (wi)ll = they'll

Some examples of spelling words to work on are: (we will review all rules that

have been taught too)

Unit 3: Skill - Determine Text Importance & Identify Sequence of Events:

We are moving into our third and final week of exploring sequencing and determining text importance.

We will read a Reader’s Theater called: The Day I Followed the Pickle - this play will help teach kids

about the basic processes in the digestive system in a silly, fun way! The kids will understand characters’

motives, actions, and feelings while building fluency and expression. We will also be taking the unit

assessment as well.

writing in their journals using Figurative Language! Some are using similes and idioms! YEAH! And
be reading in our Guided Reading Groups

2nd Step: Unit 2 - Empathy - Lesson 6: Learning More About Feelings
Concepts we will discuss:
*Clues in faces, bodies, and situations help you notice and understand how people are feeling
*Everyone feels a wide variety of emotions
*Some feelings are comfortable and others are uncomfortable
We will name a variety of feelings, distinguish between comfortable and uncomfortable feelings and
use physical, verbal, and situational clues to determine what others are feeling.
