Next week in Phonics we will be learning about digraph ck and the Final /k/ Spelling Rule.  At the end of a word, ck after a short vowel makes the /k/ sound.

In Math we will be exploring tangrams, measuring length using nonstandard units, and graphing a picture on a pictograph.

In Reading we will be learning how people in different parts of the world travel in our story “On the Move!”  We will also be learning how to recall and retell elements of a story.

Word List #21 will be sent home today and tested on Friday, April 19.  Please remember to practice the words every night with your child.  From now on, if everyone gets all of the words right we will have a special treat!

You will notice on some of the Phonics worksheets that our class has been writing words instead of only letters.  One of the end of the year assessments will ask the students to write as many words as they can in a certain amount of time. I give them about 6 minutes in class to write as many words as possible.   If you notice that your child is not filling up all of the spaces with words on his/her Phonics sheet, please take some time to practice writing words with your child at home.  Thank you!
