Reading and Vocabulary - Mrs. Extin
Reading
We continue to focus on learning the procedures and routines of our literacy block. This week we will begin our second story in Journeys, My Brother Martin. Each story has several words that will be a focus of our vocabulary study. Our words for this week will be: captured, dream, encounters, example, injustice, nourishing, numerous, preffered, recall, segregation. We will also be looking at these prefixes and how they can help us figure out the meaning of words: re-, in-
In our story we will look at characteristics of text genres and point of view. At this point of the school year it will take us about two weeks to complete the lessons that go with our story because we are also establishing the routines for our literacy block. Students will know when the reading and vocabulary test is coming because they will be assigned to read the story at home for homework and complete a vocabulary review page. Our learning goals will be:
· I can identify basic characteristics of a text genre.
· I can identify point of view.
Word Work
We are starting this week with a lesson on frequently misspelled words. We are also focusing on short and long vowel sounds. The students will be tested on Friday with a cloze spelling test. They will listen to a story and have to complete the sentences with the correctly spelled word.
We are working on the following words: become, grow, really, yet, less, there, ago, always, study, than, would, draw, course, write, family, try, almost, words, learned, then.
Our learning goals will be:
· I can apply knowledge of long and short vowel sounds when reading and spelling words.
· I can recognize and read commonly & irregularly spelled sight words.
· I can put words in alphabetical order.
Grammar/Writing - Mrs. Jancich
Another part of our grammar program is correct word usage.
This week we'll study , mane/main, horse/hoarse, tail, tale.
Our Learning Goals are:
- I can identify complete and simple subjects and predicates in sentences
- I can identify and fix sentence fragments
- I can use and identify action verbs
Science- Mrs. Extin
We investigated how many drops of water would fit on the head of a penny. Students worked together with a partner to complete 3-4 trials of the experiment.
Students were surprised to see how many drops would actually fit on the penny! We learned some new vocabulary terms - cohesion and surface tension.
