This week in phonics we will be working on the rule when a vowel is followed by a consonant and a silent e, the vowel is long such as in words like make, hope, made, dive, etc.. We will not have show and tell due to our busy schedule in preparing for graduation and end of the year testing. We will, however, have word list 24 test this week. I have been posting the list if you wish to use it for practice, but the students are doing a great job using their phonics skills to read the words.
Kindergarten testing will be this week. We are scheduled for the test on Monday. The students are asked to list as many words as they can. To identify all of the letters and their sounds, and to break apart a word and tell how many sounds make it up.
In math we are going to be working on some subtraction stories. We will be doing some basic measuring using non-standard objects, and practicing symmetry.
In reading, we are on the story "On the Move". This story is a realistic fiction story about ways people can travel. Our focus skill will be "main idea".
This week students from the high school involved with TAT ( Teens against Tobacco)will visit our school for "Kick Butts Day". They will be working with our elementary students on activities that teach about the importance of avoiding tobacco products.
