Dear Parents,
Red Words: anyone, among, caught, toward, meant
Red Word Focus
The Red Words for the week will be the 3rd Grade, 3rd Quarter Red Words, anyone, among, caught, toward, and meant. The final test for these words will be on Friday, May 3rd. The words are non-decodable words and do not follow the rules of phonics.
Green Word Focus

Our Green Word Pattern will be a review of open and closed syllables with an emphasis on Bossy-R (BR). In class we will be reviewing one, two, and three syllable words with the Bossy-R pattern. Please practice these 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 words on their Friday, May 3, 2019, spelling test.
Reading Focus
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.5 Describe the overall structure of a story, including describing how the beginning introduces the story and the ending concludes the action.
This week begins our study of America’s favorite pastime, “baseball.” We will be learning about the sport, as well as, famous baseball players, male and female, from the past and the present. Our reading selection will focus on the famous, “Jackie Robinson.” The title of our book selection is, The Hero Two Doors Down, by Sharon Robinson. Our writing focus will continue to be poetry (CCSS.ELA-WRITING.2.5)).
Please note once again that our final test will be on Friday, May 3, 2019. The spelling test will include the Red Words anyone, among, caught, toward, and meant, and the Green Word Pattern, open and closed syllables with an emphasis on Bossy-R.
Thank you,
