Spelling Information for the Week of February 24, 2020, to February 28, 2020
Dear Parents,
Red Words: Please study all 3rd Quarter Red Word Review words.
Red Word Focus
Our Red Word test this week will be on Friday and will be over all of the 3rd Quarter Red Words. This is a summative test for all 3rd Quarter Red Words. These words are as follows: always, brother, other, sister, knew, were, yellow, should, their, sign, buy, and often. These words are non-decodable words and do not follow the rules of phonics. Students will have a spelling test on Friday to show mastery of these words.
Green Word Focus
RF.2.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words
Our “Green Word” pattern/focus for the week will be the review of the vowel teams (VT) oa, oe, ai, ay, ee, and ea. Students will complete activities for words that contain these vowel teams throughout the week. Please practice these 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 vowel team review words on their Friday, February 28th 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.
Guided Reading Groups – The class will begin our study of the famous Iditarod and “The Great Serum Race” within the state of Alaska. Students will learn about the history of the Jr. Iditarod and the Iditarod. Students will read informational and fictional texts regarding this subject matter over the next several weeks. Our two texts for the week are as follows: “The Jr. Iditarod” and the “Last Great Race.” Students will be reviewing graphic and text features within the informational texts. Our writing focus will be opinion writing, writing to persuade (W.2.1), and our grammar focus will be plural nouns. (CCSS.ELA-L2.1C).
Please note that our final spelling test will be on Friday, February 28, 2020.
Thank you,
Mrs. Arp, Mr. Inman
