READING
Next week our story is Julius by Angela Johnson. We'll read about Maya's pig, Julius. Julius and Maya learn a lot from each other – Julius teaches Maya fun activities like trying on hats and dancing to jazz, and Maya teaches Julius how to be polite. The comprehension strategies will be fantasy/realism, rereading for understanding and drawing conclusions.
In spelling, we started having a dictated spelling sentence test with includes some spelling words in the sentence. You child will earn the following points on this test. 2 points for each spelling word spelled correctly (these can be from previous spelling lists), 1 point for each capital letter, 1 point for each end mark and 1 point for all the other words in the sentence. This will be a part of their language arts grade.
Letters are coming home today to tell you which teacher your child will have as their RTI teacher for reading. We will be switching for reading on September 20th.
