We continue with the novel Charlotte's Web. Students will have nightly reading that includes: practicing the page they will be reading aloud and re-reading our chapter from the day.
Students are to practice assigned Charlotte's Web reading page. Each student has an assigned page from the novel. They are to practice reading aloud with voice and intonation. Specific pages will be performed by each student for the class. Please have your child perform for you at home to improve his/her confidence!
Language concepts include nouns, verbs, and prefixes. Spelling focus is contractions.

As a great connection, we have an assembly on Tuesday about Rockets and Robots.
At home, students may create a small satellite that could orbit a planet about the size of a person's head.

Students will be sharing their satellites on Thursday or Friday.
