This Week
Jolly Phonics- This week we will be focusing on the double ss and double zz sound. Our class is changing up how we do our spelling test. We are shortening our test to 10 words. 5 will focus on our spelling rule and 5 will be our tricky words. Each week the words will be written in Chatter Matter on Monday. Here are the words this week:
- buzz
- cross
- less
- miss
- crossroads
- some
- said
- here
- there
- they
Reading- Inferring- using our schema and information from the text to make a prediction. Inferring is a thinking skill not just a reading skill so we are talking about it in science also.
Writing- Opinion Writing using our collections:

- Defending our opinion with reasons
- Creating an ending
Math- We are working on ways to subtract. For this chapter we are subtracting within 10. This is a great skill to practice at home.
