We are continuing Unit 3 this week with Lesson 18 and we will be working two step word problems using all math operations.
Reading:
In Unit 3 Week 5, we will be talking about who each event in history is unique. Our comprehension skill for the week is summarizing and our strategy is sequencing. We will be reading two expository texts, “The Long Road to Oregon” and “Riding the Rails West”.
Phonics:
prefixes and diphthongs – ~oi ~ou ~oy ~ow
Vocabulary:
-agreeable -appreciate -boomed -descendants -emigration -pioneers -transportation -vehicles
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!
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.
