Weekly spelling words will come from the dictation pages. Students will be expected to apply all classroom information to ten or more Syllable Division Pattern 1, Pattern 2, and/or Pattern 3 words on their Friday spelling test.

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. The students will complete the reading of the realistic fiction text, “I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic.” CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.3 Describe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges. Our writing focus will include the topic of the Titanic and the application of adjectives and adverbs within their journal writing activities.
