Spelling Information for the Week of April 23, 2018 to April 27, 2018

Dear Parents,

HOMEWORK: Write each Red Word 5 times each for Monday’s homework.

Red Words: New – ghost, part Review – sure, floor

Red Word Focus

The next two 4th quarter Red Words are ghost and part. The students will also continue to review the words sure and floor for a final test on Friday. We will practice all of these words in the classroom throughout the week. Our test will be on Friday, April 27, 2018.

Green Word Focus

RF.2.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words

Our Green Word pattern will continue to be “consonant-le endings.” The endings are –gle (jungle), -ple (simple), -kle (ankle), and -zle (dazzle). To facilitate the decoding of a word, these common endings can be cut off. Please practice the new Green Word pattern words as your child brings them home on dictation pages. Weekly spelling words will come from the dictation pages. Students will be expected to apply all classroom information to ten or more –gle, -ple, kle, -zle words on their Friday spelling test.

Reading Focus

Our reading focus will continue to be the historical topic of the legendary Titanic, the “Unsinkable Ship.” The students will be reading nonfiction, historical fiction, magazines, newspaper articles, and watching videos describing all aspects of its voyage. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.9 Compare and contrast the most important points presented by two texts on the same topic. Our writing focus will include the topic of the Titanic and the application of adjectives and adverbs within their journal writing activities. (CCSS.ELA.L.2.1.E); CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.2.3Write narratives in which they recount a well-elaborated event or short sequence of events, include details to describe actions, thoughts, and feelings, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide a sense of closure.)

Please note that our spelling test for the week will be on Friday, April 27, 2018, and will include the Red words ghost, part, sure, and floor and the Green Word Pattern consonant-le endings, -gle, -ple, -kle, -zle

Thank you,
