Reading:
In Unit 2 Week 2, our comprehension strategy is rereading to help us understand a text better. The expository texts we are reading this week are “Every Vote Counts,” and “VOTE”. While reading, we are going to be using details in the text to determine the author’s point of view.
Phonics:
Silent Letters: -gn, -kn, -wr, -mb, -rh, -bt, -mn, -lf, -gh, -lk, -sc, -st
Vocabulary:
announced – candidates – convince – decisions – elect – estimate – government – independent
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!
OCTOBER 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.
- Remember to read at least 20 minutes per day. Making sure that your child does his/her reading daily is the single most helpful thing you can do to support educational success.
