Green Word Pattern Focus
RF.2.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding word.
Many words in our language have more than one pronunciation, spelling, or meaning. We encounter sounds that are spelled the same but sound differently which is the case with this week’s Green Word pattern of –ew. The –ew in grew sounds the same as the /oo/ in zoo.
The -ew in few sounds the same as the /u/, u-consonant – magic e sound as in cute. Please practice all –ew Green Word pattern words as your child brings them home on dictation pages. Weekly spelling words may come from the dictation pages. Students will be expected to apply all classroom information to ten or more “-ew” words on their Friday spelling test.
Reading Focus
Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text.
Know and use various text features (e.g., captions, bold print, subheadings, glossaries, indexes, electronic menus, icons) to locate key facts or information in a text efficiently.
Explain how specific images (e.g., a diagram showing how a machine works) contribute to and clarify a text.
The students will complete the reading of the selections, “Pilgrims” and “What Was The First Thanksgiving?” The students will also take a vocabulary and a comprehension/text feature/graphic feature test over the selections. The students will also learn the elements of a fable and read several classic fables in the classroom.
Homework
The spelling test will be on Friday, December 6, 2019, and will include all of the 2nd quarter Red Words and the Green Word pattern,
-ew.
