What are we learning this week?
April 23rd-27th

Religion:  We will learn about How Jesus is the light of the world.  We will review prayers, and discuss how we can live our lives as Jesus did. We will also continue discussing Baptism.  

Reading:: The children will read the story “The Kite".  This is another one of my favorite stories that we read in first grade.  It is from the Frog and Toad Series, so I LOVE it!  We will also read other stories about Frog and Toad during reading groups. Our phonics skill this week are base words that contain the long I sound with spelling patterns igh, y, ie.  Remember if a word ends with a Y, but has only one syllable, the Y will make the I sound such as sky, cry, by, fly, dry.  If the word ends with a Y, and has two (or more) syllables, the Y will make the E sound such as baby, Zoey, family, silly, etc.  The only exceptions to this rule are when it's a y vowel team such as AY (away).  Then the word will follow the typical vowel pattern rule.

 The words to know this week include:across, head, second, ball, heard, should, cried, large. The selection test will be held on Friday, April 27th. Please study our weekly story, phonics skills, and words to know to help prepare for our test.  Remember, our weekly fridge facts contains information to also help prepare for the test.

Spelling:  We will have a spelling test on Friday:   The words include:my, fly, pie, light, try, by, myself, cried, sky, dry, night, brighter.  Need help remembering how to add inflections to base words?  Check out this helpful link: /documents/2018/4/AddingEdandIngtoCommonVerbs.pptx
