Homework:
Green Word Pattern Focus
Our “Green Word” pattern focus for the week will be learning about ck and k. C and k say (ck) separately and together. When they are together, as in black, they are usually at the end of a word. They never appear together at the beginning of a word. When you hear the (k) sound after a short vowel in a one-syllable word, it is usually spelled with ck.
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 class-room information to ten or more “ck” words and “k” words on their Friday spelling test.
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.
Reading
The students will continue to read and complete activities to identify text and graphic features, as well as, facts regarding the Pilgrims, the Mayflower, and the Native Americans. The students will identify various text and graphic features within the selections, “The Story of the Mayflower,” and “What Was The First Thanksgiving?” Students will also be introduced to the selections, “Colonial Life” and “Turkeys.” We will also continue to practice the focus standard RI.2.1, ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how, to demonstrate understanding of key details in an informational text. Our writing focus will be moving toward informational writing activities. (W2.2)
