In Phonics, we will finish learning about long vowels. The rule for long vowels is if the vowel is followed by anything other than a consonant then it is long (we code it with a macron.) Students will also learn about the digraph ck like at the end of duck.
Next week in Reading, we’ll read “The Little Engine that Could.” In this classic story, a little train carrying toys to all of the good boys and girls is confronted with a seemingly impassable mountain. As nicely as they ask, the toys cannot convince the Shiny New Engine or the Big Strong Engine to say anything but "I cannot. I cannot." It is left up to the Little Blue Engine to overcome the odds and pull the train to the other side. We will discuss make believe transportation. Students will learn about plot. Please be sure to review your Family Times when it comes home next week.
In Math students will measure the capacity of containers using nonstandard units and then order the containers. Students will also solve “some, some more” problems. Finally students will learn about a new shape, the cone.
