Spelling
This is a short week, so we will just focus on 1 spelling stratatgy instead of 2. we will test on WEDNESDAY. This week we are starting to learn about vowel teams. Vowel teams are 2 vowels that work togther and make one sound. This week the vowel team is ea and the story goes that Mr. E does all the talking and Mr. A is on the look out for robots so he is silent.

Fluency Poem of the Week
She comes by night, in fearsome flight,
In garments black as pitch,
The queen of doom upon her broom,
the wild and wicked witch.
Take care to hide when the wild witch rides
to Shriek for evel spell.
what she may do with a word or two is much to grim to tell.
