This Week’s Academics
Spelling– This week, we focused on long vowels, short vowels, and silent letters. We
also took our first spelling test today. Students will receive their first 2-5-8 menu on
Monday to practice the words they missed on the test. Their 2-5-8 will always be due
on Friday.
Reading– We finished Mrs. Frisby and the Crow and took our test on Tuesday. We are
currently reading Toto and will finish it next week!
Writing- We worked hard on our autobiographies this week. We worked on our final
drafts today and will be typing them on laptops starting on Monday!
Math– This week, we continued to review addition and subtraction. We also learned
how to find missing addends. We hope to finish unit 1 next week with our first test
on Friday.
