THIS IS AN EXCITING WEEK! WE ARE STARTING OUR FOURTH READING BOOK, CELEBRATING "CINCO DE MAYO," AND WE ARE HAVING OUR "SPRING TEA" FOR OUR PARENTS.  WE WILL BE READING A STORY TITLED, "MAMA'S BIRTHDAY PRESENT."  THIS STORY IS ABOUT A MEXICAN-AMERICAN FAMILY AND USES SOME SPANISH WORDS.  PERFECT TIMING FOR CINCO DE MAYO.

 

IN MATH WE ARE CONTINUING TO STUDY USING DATA TO ANSWER QUESTIONS; SPECIFICALLY IN GRAPHS AND TALLY TABLES. 

 

OUR SPELLING LIST IS COMPOSED OF WORDS WITH VOWEL DIGRAPHS - AI & AY, PLUS TWO H/F WORDS AND THE VERY POPULAR "BONUS" WORDS.  THIS WEEK WE TOOK THE WORDS FROM OUR READING STORY'S LIST OF AMAZING WORDS.
