Words Their Way 

Every time you get a new set of words, this is what you need to do: 

• GET your words and do your WRITE & SORT!  

• Do not glue them in! 
• Get them checked by Mrs. Jessie 

• Highlight the word patterns (if there is a pattern – ask if you aren’t sure): 
• Example: CVVC  Boat   or –eg patterns: beg, leg 

• Write your words in complete sentences. If you do not know what the words mean – look in the dictionary! 
• Put your words in ALPHABETIC ORDER – Ant, Antelope, Artist, Balloon, Beluga, Cotton 
• Rainbow Write: Ant, Antelope 

• Fancy Words: Ant, Antelope, Artist, Balloon 
• Word Search: Go into your file and find the word search. Cut it out and glue into your Daily 5 book when you are done.   
• NOW YOU CAN CUT OUT YOUR WORDS! 
• Speed Sort – Use the iPad to race yourself, 3 times!  
• Blind Sort/Partner Sort – Have somebody say the words to you, and you point to the right category.

Making 10 - Mental Math for this Week

Let's Practice Together

Practice your make 10 with this cool game:

Similes

Remember.. they are S-I-Miles not smiles!

A simile compares two things using LIKE or AS.

The kitten is as fluffy AS a cloud.

Your eyes are blue LIKE the sky.

The boy moves slow LIKE a turtle.

See if you can think of your own!!

Math Treasure Hunt

For those students who did not finish it. Due on Monday:

Sorry that it is a bit distorted.. We are running on data over our phones until Unifi moves our service, so it is uploading weird!

New Schedule

Our schedule has changed a bit with the MYP/IB program going to a one week rather than a two week schedule. The main important change is that Swimming and PE days have changed. Swimming is now on Monday's and PE is on Wednesday's. We will still have library on Wednesday mornings.

Summer Holidays Work

Please have your child review math work, use Freckle and Prodigy and especially reading.

The research is clear that children who don't read during the summer can lose up to three to six months of reading progress and that loss has a cumulative, long-term effect.
