Spelling Information for the Week of April 9, 2018 to April 13, 2018
Dear Parents,
Red Word Focus
The next two 4th quarter Red Words are eight and tear. The students will also continue to review the words almost and does for a final test on Friday. We will practice all of these words throughout the week in the classroom. Our test will be on Friday, April 13, 2018.
Green Word Focus
RF.2.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words
Our new Green Word pattern will be –igh. These three letters, igh, make one sound (igh) as in light. 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 –igh words on their Friday spelling test.
Reading Focus
Our reading focus for the next few weeks will be the historical topic of the legendary sinking of the Titanic. 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.
We will also continue to discuss and identify figurative language within stories and poems. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.4Describe how words and phrases (e.g., regular beats, alliteration, rhymes, repeated lines) supply rhythm and meaning in a story, poem, or song.) 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 13, 2018, and will include the Red words eight, tear, almost, and does and the Green Word Pattern -igh as in light.
Thank you,
Mrs. Arp
