Reading:
This week our comprehension strategy is Asking & Answering Questions.  The expository stories we are reading this week are “A Natural Beauty” and “A Mountain of History”. While reading, we are going to be identifying Main Idea and Key Details.

Phonics:
Long o:  o, ow, o_e, oa, oe

Vocabulary:
carved  –  landmark  –  clues  –  grand  –  massive  –  monument  –  national  –  traces

In class, we learn about these vocabulary words in connection to ourselves. If you notice your child using any of these words in context, this would be a great opportunity to celebrate their efforts!

SEPTEMBER POEMS
Each month students are required to memorize at least one poem.  Below are the month’s poems.  We only read through these in class once, so they need to be practiced at home.  Students can pass off poems on Fridays whenever they are ready to recite them.
